Book Description

This report includes information regarding pulpwood produced for use in the manufacture of all primary products made from reconstituted wood fi ber. The two major products produced from pulpwood are pulp products and composite panel products. Pulp products include wood pulp, corrugated medium, roofi ng material, and insulation board. Composite panel products include fl akeboard, waferboard, medium density fi berboard, hardboard, particleboard, oriented strandboard, and parallel strand lumber. Wood chips or fi bers used at composite panel mills are nearly identical to wood chips or fi bers used at pulp mills. Therefore, including this wood in our data compilation provides a more accurate estimate of demand for pulpwood-like material. This report presents the production of the raw fi ber material delivered to mills. Thus, these data report only that portion of the timber harvest used as raw material and do not necessarily reflect the volume of growing stock harvested.
