FOREST PRODUCTS MANUFACTURE 



Granted, forest industries have searched the state over 

 and over for sources of logs for their mills. As demands 

 have grown, and sources of high quality timber has diminished, 

 methods and equipment are constantly being developed to 

 utilize the presently available forest material. 



The establishment of facilities to produce primary 

 lumber should be encouraged only after consultation with 

 experts in markets, raw material procurement, logging 

 procedures, manufacturing methods, transportation methods, and 

 economics. A relatively large amount of capital will be 

 required. Those in the County Committee with forestry and 

 business backgrounds should be consulted to learn the sources 

 of this expert information. 



To serve as a beginning check list for possible items 

 of primary manufacture, the following list is given: 



Rough lumber s Railroad ties, mine ties and props, bridge 



timbers, stringer. 



Construction lumber ; Beams, boards, decking, dimension 



stock, forms, framing, joists, planks, sheathing, studs, 



sills. 



Finished lumber ; Casing, ceiling, flooring, lath, 



paneling, pickets, plywood, scaffolding, siding.
