installed capacity of 2.5 million board feet 

 of shooks per 8-hour shift. These plants range 

 from small factories with 1 cut-off saw and a daily 

 capacity of 8 to 10 M board feet per day to large 

 factories with 10 to 15 cut-offs and daily capacities 

 of 100 to 150 M feet or more. The excellent 

 qualities of ponderosa pine box shooks give them 

 a commanding position in consuming markets. 

 Among many kinds of shooks manufactured, the 

 principal types are designed for apple and pear 

 boxes for local markets, orange boxes, lug boxes 

 for grapes, tomatoes, etc., vegetable crates, and 

 cannery cases chiefly for the salmon canneries. 



Sash and door factories and planing mills are 

 also operated by most of the large lumber manu- 

 facturers. Sash, doors, cut stock, casket shooks, 

 mouldings, paneling, and various other specialty 

 items are manufactured. In addition there are a 

 few plants located in Klamath Falls manufactur- 

 ing moulding and other planing-mill products 

 exclusively. The region has one veneer plant also 

 located at Klamath Falls, but the use of ponderosa 

 pine for veneers and plywood is still new here. 

 Small quantities of ponderosa pine logs have been 

 shipped from central Oregon to a Portland basket 

 and veneer plant.
