The manufacture and remanufacture of a forest resource 

 into a refined wood product ready for consumer use will 

 increase the value recoverable from the standing timber 

 resource by 20 times. For example, a forest resource with a 

 standing tree value of one million dollars is capable of 

 generating a 20 million dollar consumer product value. The 

 employment provided in making the transition from this same 

 quantity of raw material to a consumable product will, in 

 the process, generate 7 million dollars in wages and salaries, 

 The long term economic impact is appreciable,
