I took after it; but when I got to it it warn't nothing but a couple of sawlogs made fast together.
What few domestic sawlogs are harvested command breathtaking prices.
If urbanization is leading to a reduced flow of sawlogs, the explanation for the lack of observed effects of urban cover on woodshed area may be tied to the flow of sawlogs from terminal harvests, prior relocation of sawmills out of urbanizing areas, or the implementation of alternative procurement and production strategies that help sawmills remain competitive as local wood supplies tighten.
Because of the species, the age of the stands (200-plus years), the existence of a nearby sawmill, and a community that needed lumber for growth and development, TSI established 100 years as a proper rotation age (the number of years it takes to grow trees large enough to produce the desired product-in this case sawlogs).
This study compared two product mix options for a southern pine dimension mill to maximize the value yield of plantation-grown southern pine timber that is harvested in short rotation (i.e., 30 years or less) and inherently yields sawlogs with a relatively small diameter and high proportion of juvenile wood.
Private landowners use both partial cuts and clear-cuts to produce sawlogs for sawmills as well as chips for wood-fired energy plants.
Trade of softwood sawlogs on the other hand, reached its highest level since 2007 last year when 1.6 million m3 was imported primarily to sawmills in Sweden.
When you consider that large-diameter sawlogs sell for more money per thousand board-feet than small-diameter sawlogs, the actual timber-harvest value on SI-100 land increases yet again.
