My very first forestry work was up there for a guy called Dave Lewis of B&L Forestry, Launceston. Think he's gone to Oz now. Piece work on small larch and hemlock; he had 20 blokes on for him that year (95 I think). I agree; there is some quality timber up there but some crap too; remember doing a valuation on corsican pine - bl*£dy stuff!

Nope not heard of him. The most memorable guy working for Dave back then was a veteran of a cutter if ever there ws one called Ron; 6' and skinny as a rake, buck teeth, weathered features. He was basically a human harvester - 120 trees a day no problem. Up on Soussons, he lived IN the wood - no kidding: went to the pub for his tea and then back to his corrugated shack the size of tent and crashed on a bale of straw I kid you not and up at first light to cut cut cut. Husky 254 was the internal combustion part of his body if I remember rightly. Lots of Jonsereds around then too... good memories.
