Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott has the opportunity to visit Robert W. Wall, Inc. and Wall Timber in Osyka, Mississippi. There are all kinds of logging outfits working the Southern woods, from two-man operations, father-son teams and family companies to massive corporation-like entities fielding dozens of crews. The Wall family has built something that incorporates a little of all of that into the mix. The company is officially Robert W. Wall, Inc., but it does business as Wall Timber, and Wall Timber does business big—nine crews, 29 trucks and 70 employees, all using the latest technology and the best administrative practices. But behind all that, Wall Timber is still very much what it’s always been: a tight-knit family business. At the core of it all are the owners and founders: Bob Wall, 56, and his wife Kim, married almost 34 years.
