WESTMINSTER, SC — The world might not have enough wood products if all the loggers’ sons had listened when their fathers told them to go to college instead of going to the woods. Thank God for that. “Somebody’s gotta do this work,” observes C.D. Laws, 27, one of the current owners of Laws Logging, Inc. C.D. graduated high school on a Friday night in 2016 and was at work in the woods the Saturday morning after. “Daddy told me to go to college but I said no, I’m gonna stick with this. I was born and raised in this out here.”
