Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott visits Miller’s Tavern, Virginia’s Old Dominion Timber, LLC. Brothers Stuart Deaton, 55, and Marc Deaton, 49, are partners in Old Dominion Timber, LLC. The name, Old Dominion, came from their dad, who had worked as a consulting forester in the 1950s, calling his company Old Dominion Timber Consulting. The brothers bring different, but complementary, skill sets and personalities to the table, each with his area of expertise. Stuart handles the administrative work at the office and, as a graduate forester, tends to whatever forestry work the company needs done. Marc, meanwhile, has a mechanical inclination, so when he’s not in the woods he’s usually busy working on machines in the shop. In the woods they work as a team, with Marc usually manning the cutter and Start operating the loader. When Southern Loggin’ Times visited in May, the guys were busy salvaging storm damaged wood.
