"If
the people involved in the manufacturing of logs would follow
the procedures and techniques explained in this book, there
would not only be less accidents, we would also utilize more
wood from each harvest area. Once the Faller and Bucker lay
the saw to a tree, it is like Humpty Dumpty, all the Foresters
in the Northwest can't put it back together again, and theirein
lies the need to do it right the first and only time around."
