SOUTHERN LUMBERMAN MAGAZINE

The front cover of the March 2008, Southern Lumberman magazine had a picture of a Jackson Lumber Harvester sawmill in a snowstorm -- you could see the snow coming down -- and the logs on the deck were covered with snow.  The photo was taken at Dunn's Sawmill & Logging in Honesdale, PA.  Apparently the snowy picture was to capture the attention of the subscribers to Southern Lumberman magazine, which usually features operations in Alabama, Florida, or Georiga.

There was a nice three-page article in the magazine, showing John Dunn operating his Jackson Lumber Harvester portable sawmill.  Currently, John has his portable mill set up as a stationary mill.  John and his brother, Bill, come from a family of logging and lumber sawing.

Installations abound.

We are doing many installations for people!
Jackson technicians have been working on:

• Webb Biomass Burners.
• Entire Wood Shaving Plants ---Including dryers, log decks, & conveyors for the whole operation.
• Heating systems for pellet manufacturers.
• Sawmills & related equipment.

Jim McGee Celebrates 20 years!

Production supervisor Jim McGee has been with Jackson for over 20 years. A pizza party was held in his honor with employees joining in to help him celebrate this momentous occasion.



McGee started working for the company in 1988 as a welder. He became production supervisor in 1996, upon the retirement of Howard Peterson who had been with the company since 1959. McGee worked on, and has been in charge of, the metal fabrication of Jackson-brand sawmills, wood shaving mills, and related forestry equipment. He has been instrumental in the production of machinery shipped to destinations throughout the United States and foreign countries; such as Canada, Korea, Bahamas, Colombia, Russia, Puerto Rico, England, Portugal, South Africa, Thailand, Iceland, Chile, Lithuania, Brunei, and Trinidad in the West Indies."

We at Jackson Lumber Harvester have decided to reformat a newsletter that we once did called the "Jackson Journal". This publication was informative to past and current customers as well as employees concerning many things taking place at Jackson. The newsletter included new business, upcoming trade shows, history, "spotlight" on employees, sales, and other interesting happenings at Jackson. This blog is an attempt to provide similar information in a easy to access medium. Enjoy.
