To the Mountain Man and his Equestrian Queen,

Chainsaw in one hand, woodsmans axe in the other and wisdom in spades.

Your lessons weren’t wrapped in fancy words, but in the grit and grind of life. Because of you, I stand tall, tackle the toughest timber, and never back down.

You didn’t just show me the forest, you gave me opportunity to build, develop, create, enhance.

This work is a nod to the rugged lessons you handed down. Every bit of grit I've got, I owe to you.

Thanks for shaping me, just as you've shaped countless logs into legacy.

Tipping my hat to you,

W

Your support, enthusiasm, and your dude-if-anyone-can-do-it-you-can-do-it attitude has kept me inspired through life. Logging is a legacy to many, and I saw (get it?) fit to carve out a piece of history and include you all.

This tome is an homage to the Men (and Women) of the Mountain, Long May We Reign!
