I took after it; but when I got to it it warn't nothing but a couple of
sawlogs made fast together.
More importantly, where are the estimated 38 million bdft of certified
sawlogs being processed?
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.
