Not much other than...
1 - How many fewer people it takes now vs. then
2 - How many fewer chances to be killed or maimed now vs. then
3- How much smaller the useful logs are. The logs going into the
"now" are about the same size as the waste coming out of the "then".
True, but they are fast growth, sustainable, forest trees.
More wood, faster than the old growth stuff.
Easier to harvest and transport, too.
Supposedly yields better grain and less variation in density, etc.
Plus, you're not cutting down 300 year old trees.
