C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

    Florida Forest Service James R. Karels, State Forester The forest needs of Florida’s citizens are much greater than many realize, often impacting our lives in ways that we may not always see. It is estimated that the average person utilizes 40 products a day that are derived from the forest. This not only includes the obvious products such as lumber and paper, but items such as toothpaste, ice cream, film, cellophane, tape, adhesives, and enhancements for many of the foods we eat and drink. There are well over 5,000 different products that come from forests. Of course, there are many other benefits we derive from forests, such as clean air, clean water, recreation and an enhanced environment. Currently the forest industry is the leading agricultural industry in Florida and second only to tourism in total impact on the state’s economy. The timber industry also provides numerous jobs, outdoor recreation opportunities for millions of visitors each year. Forestry is about balancing the ecological, social and economic needs of our state. Educating our citizens about proper forest management practices will help ensure that forests will be healthy and that the forest industry remains a viable commodity for future generations. The purpose of this book is to reach out to our youth to teach them good forestry practices.

  • Five Step Cutting Process
    Five Step Cutting Process Objective Regardless of task, develop a plan to determine where you want the cut piece to end up. • If felling, plan the most desirable placement or lay for the tree • If bucking, plan where you want the bucked log or round to go • If limbing, determine sequence and direction for large branches when cut • If brushing, particularly in thick brush, plan how you will remove the brush when it is cut Hazards/obstacles Develop a plan to identify the hazards/obstacles: • That are overhead (fire, rotten top, widow makers and loose bark), • That are in the piece of wood being cut (fire, rot and hinge wood integrity, hollow, bar/saw length compared to diameter, bees or poison plants) • Springpoles, • Buildings, equipment. or other trees you don’t want damaged • That are associated with people and cutting area control Leans/binds Since lay, cut piece placement, sequence or removal was determined in O, develop a plan to: • Determine lean of a standing tree. Calculate, in feet, the amount of head/back lean and side lean • Determine binds in log to be bucked, springpoles, limbs or brush to be removed Escape paths Since leans and binds were determined in the previous step, develop a plan to: • Determine the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ side of the tree, log, springpole, limb or brush • Determine and clear an escape route (or 2 routes if necessary for crosscut saw/axe work or situations that require two routes) Cut Plan Develop a cut plan to determine which technique will be used to remove wood fiber to achieve the desired result including: • Face notch construction type (conventional, Humboldt, or open face) • Hinge position, length of hinge, depth of hinge and amount of stump shot needed • Back cut type (straight in from the back or chase, boring back cut and out the back, boring back cut with release or holding wood or strap) • Wedge placement including number of wedges and axe placement • Sawyer communication to crew members, swamper or crosscut sawyer partner Forest Service .
