Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott visits Huddleston, Virginia’s Nichols Logging, Inc. Bobby Nichols, Sr., and his son Bobby, Jr.—to distinguish them, most folks just call him Bo—have more in common than a name. Both Bobbys seem to be men of few words; they prefer to let their actions speak for them. They share a passion for working in the woods; it’s just about the only thing either of them have ever done or wanted to do. They share a love for family—several members of the Nichols clan, including sons and grandsons, work with them, and others have done so in the past. And, of course, they share the company. Aged 20 years apart, Bobby, 66, and Bo, 46, jointly own and oversee Nichols Logging, Inc., based out of Bedford County and operating primarily within a 40-mile radius from their home in Huddleston.
