Hi Jake,
I had a plugin in preparation that amongst others does exactly what you
want: within an editing session cut out from polygons in editable theme
with selected polygons from another theme.
The plugin is called DigitizingTools and is planned to contain more
tools in the future. I uploaded it to the plugin repository just now,
feel free to give it a try and report any problems.
It is marked as experimental (because it is not well tested right now)
and only works with current master (aka QGIS 2).

Hey Jake,
Here's how I typically add a cut to an existing stand (or depending on
who you stand in front of - regeneration cut or clear cut).
1. Select all of your clearcuts in the stand.
2. IN the QGIS menu go to Vector -> geoprocessing -> difference
3. Both the input and the difference layer will be the name of your
shapefile with the stand in it.
4. Uncheck "Use only selected features" under Input Vector Layer
5. Make sure "Use only selected features" is checked under difference layer
6. Create an output shapefile and run.
You should have a new stand with multiple "holes" cut into it so you get
the right acreage.

How can I create a polygon with several areas cut out. The cut out

Thank you for your help____
