Lumberjack Phil Jackson posing next to a 1978 John Deere 440C skidder and a pile of large, soft maple logs. He is holding an orange measuring stick to measure the size of the logs; the stick is four feet long. Jackson says these are some of the largest soft maple logs he’s ever cut. The logs were cut near the Boquet River. Spring 2016. Elizabethtown, NY. Courtesy of Phil Jackson.
