Southern Loggin’ Times magazine attended J.M. Woods’ 42nd annual spring auction, held at the company’s headquarters in Montgomery, Ala. on March 10-12. “This was the largest auction in the 42 years of our family business,” according to company president Bryant Wood. “We had over 600 consignors who put faith in this auction and we worked hard on their behalf; their timing could not have been any better. Prices were strong and attendance was high.” The 600 consignors included several logging equipment dealers—Blanchard, Thompson, Yancey Bros., Flint, B&G Supply, among others. The auction grossed over $52 million in total sales, including almost $9 million in online sales—breaking company records. Both on-site and online (32% of bids came from online), more than 4,000 bidders came from 20 countries and 45 U.S. states.
