Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Veneer-Log Production and Consumption, North Central Region, 1966
Seventy-nine veneer mills were operating during 1966 in the North Central Region (fig. Thirty-five were container veneer mills and the others manufactured face, core, cross band, or specialty veneers. Veneer mills are especially abundant in northeastern Wiscon sin and southern Indiana. These areas contain several large mills producing high-quality face and specialty veneers. As a result, both of these States are large importers of high quality veneer logs.
Lake States loggers harvested million board feet of veneer logs in 1966 (table I), nearly one million board feet less than the previous year (after deducting 1966 overseas exports). Harvesting was up million board feet from 1965 in Michigan but was more than offset by a lower cut in Minnesota and Wis consin. Most of the logs, 45 million board feet, went to mills cutting commercial, utility, and face veneers for doors, furniture, wall panels, specialty plywoods, and similar items. The remainder was used in manufacturing veneer for boxes, baskets, and other contain ers. An additional cords of small logs were cut for heading stock for container mills.
Hard maple increased its lead as the domi nant species cut in the Lake States. Slightly more than 13 million board feet were cut in 1966 an increase of million over the previous year. Hard maple shipments from the Lake States, primarily to Indiana veneer mills, were up 46 percent from 1965.
