Abstract The softwood lumber industry in the United States and Canada consists of about 1,067 sawmills. In 2005 these sawmills had a combined capacity of 189 million m3 (80 × 109 bf). In 2004, they employed about 99,000 people and produced 172 million m3 (nominal) (73.0 × 109 bf) of lumber. In the process, they consumed about 280 million m3 (9.9 × 109 ft3) of timber. Employee productivity was near 2,125 m3 (900,000 bf) per worker per year for dimension and stud mills but about half that for board, timber, and specialty mills. Average saw log size varied from 42 cm (16.6 in.) in British Columbia to 16 cm (6.2 in.) in the bo-real region of eastern Canada. Average lumber recovery fac-tors varied from 267 bf/m3 (7.55 bf/ft3) for timber mills to 236 bf/m3 (6.6 bf/ft3) for specialty mills. The average for dimension mills was 266 bf/m3 (7.5 bf/ft3). Strong underly-ing demand for housing, supported by demographic growth among young adults and generational low interest rates, are strong positives for the industry’s prospects. Low interest rates, however, are threatened by rising inflation, the mea-surement of which depends on whether new home prices are included or not.

PrefaceThis report updates Profile 2003: Softwood Sawmills in the United States and Canada, published April 2003. Profile 2005 contains updated information on location, ownership, and approximate capacities of 1,067 softwood sawmills in the United States and Canada. Additionally, it presents data on employment, lumber recovery, and average log sizes in the industry, along with an assessment of near-term prospec-tive U.S. economic conditions.

The information in this study was originally compiled from a variety of published sources. These included directories of wood-using industries published by regional United States and Canadian forestry departments, commercial directo-ries such as the Big Book (Random Lengths Publications, Inc. 2005) and Madison’s Canadian Lumber Directory (Madison’s Canadian Lumber Reporter 2004), company press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission filings, and company web sites. In this 2005 update, we augmented these sources with extensive personal contacts and data gathered in conjunction with Timber Processing Magazine’s annual survey of the top 200 U.S. sawmills. We also relied on data from Statistics Canada, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau), the U.S. Department of Labor, and the Western Wood Products Association (WWPA) for supplementary information.

The objective of the profiles is to present contemporary portraits of the softwood sawmilling industry. This sec-tor is highly diverse with a multitude of public and private ownerships. Information about its activities is scattered and often withheld because of privacy or legal concerns. Thus, we are especially grateful to those many individuals whose openness made this project possible. Nevertheless, in data-gathering efforts of this size, omissions or inaccura-cies are unavoidable, for which responsibility is ours. We ask readers to submit corrections by e-mail to Henry Spelter ([email protected]).

Further, in dealing with industry data on production and recoveries, we were presented with a variety of units reflect-ing the different measures used in sawmilling. To make data comparable, we converted them to common units. For lumber we took board foot volumes at face value and converted them to cubic meters based on 424 bf equaling 1 m3. This ignores differences between nominal and actual lumber sizes; thus, the metric volumes are also nominal, not actual. Lumber recovery data present a bigger problem because they are reported in various measures of volume and weight in which the size of the timber affects the result. Accordingly, in converting the disparate units to a common cubic platform, we had to account for the confounding ef-fect of timber size. Thus, unlike with lumber, specific rather than general conversion factors were used. This is laid out in detail in Appendix A—Conversion of Recoveries in Various Units to Cubic Meters.

Introduction As of July 2005, the mainstream of the softwood lumber industry in the United States and Canada consisted of about 1,067 sawmills. These sawmills had a combined capacity of 189 million m3 (80 × 109 bf), employed about 99,000 people, produced about 172 million m3 (73.0 × 109 bf) of lumber, and in the process, consumed about 280 million m3 (9.9 × 109 ft3) of wood. The capacities of these large, per-manent plants are laid out in Appendix C and summarized in Table 1. This enumeration excludes small or seasonal opera-tions, as their contributions to lumber production are mini-mal. In the following sections, we describe developments in the above aspects of the industry, present data on the size of the wood raw material and the efficiency of its use, and con-clude with an overview of general economic conditions in the United States, which in large measure shapes the pros-pects of the North American softwood lumber sector.

Capacity Appendix C lists sawmill locations and their capacities for 2000 to 2005. These data are summarized in Table 1. As described in the Preface, the information was obtained from a diverse set of sources. By necessity, data for 2005 and for the terminal years in previous reports were based on firms’ projections or extensions of previous data. These change as we obtain actual production figures and correct omissions, errors, or misclassifications. The possible extent of such re-visions can be judged comparing current capacity estimates with those published in earlier reports (Table 2).

The focus in this report is on capacity of primary mills. Remanufacturing plants have been excluded, and where we knew of sawmills finishing other plants’ rough green lumber, we reduced their capacities to avoid double count-ing. In a few cases we found it more convenient to represent an area’s capacity by the primary planing mill and instead excluded the smaller satellite mills supplying it. Because sawmills have no standard pattern of operation, we also defined capacity as the production limit based on a mill’s normal shift schedule rather than a fixed number of shifts. Most large mills run two shifts daily, but many run three and others only one. Shifts also range from the normal 8 hours a day to 9 or 10 hours and can vary as a result of market

conditions. Thus, the potential for physical output may be higher than the numbers we report.

As so defined, U.S. and Canadian sawmill industry capacity grew from 148.7 million m3 (63 × 109 bf) in 1995 to a projected 188.9 million m3 (80 × 109 bf) in 2005 (Table 3). Capacity goes where the resource is and grows fastest where wood is most abundant and available. Thus, British Columbia’s capacity rose the most, in particular during the past 2 years (Table 4) when large volumes of beetle-killed lodgepole pine became available. Once dead,

such trees have a limited shelf life for sawing into lumber and need to be processed within 5 to 10 years, depending on climatic conditions. Several companies expanded mills to allow greater use of this relatively short-term resource.

Western U.S. sawmill capacity also grew strongly within the past 3 years, recovering ground lost in the early 1990s when reduced government timber sales led many mills to close. Coastal Washington, in particular, had four big greenfield plants started with a fifth on the way. A major incentive for this was consistently lower timber prices for the same spe-cies and grades than in nearby Oregon. Growth in the U.S. South was more modest but steady.

Eastern Canadian capacity also showed steady growth through 2004 but recently plateaued. An official assessment

of Quebec forestry determined that forests there have been overcut. New policies will lead to a 20% cutback in harvest-ing over the next 2 years, thus dimming further growth pros-pects in eastern Canada.

Among the producing regions, only the U.S. North showed a loss, as the closure of several large mills in Maine was not offset by new construction. Log shortages, intensified by competition from mills in Canada, were reasons cited for limiting expansion.

Capacity data are most useful for assessing market condi-tions in connection with production figures. Production data in Canada are compiled by a government statistical agency (Statistics Canada 2004), whereas in the United States both the government (U.S. Census Bureau 2004) and the Western Wood Products Association (WWPA) (2004) gather such information. Table 5 compares these various production es-timates. For most of the years, data from the Census, which theoretically cover all U.S. producing sawmills, show higher volumes than the WWPA data. Over time, though, the dif-ferences have tended to decline, and in 2004 the Census estimate was lower.

To investigate these production differences, we combined them with our estimates of capacity to calculate capacity uti-lization rates (Figs. 1 to 3). For the South, both production data fit within our estimates of capacity (utilization rates below 1) and also showed similar movements in year-to-year changes, with the gap between them narrowing in re-cent years. Likewise, both estimates of western output were within capacity and showed relatively stable relationships to each other through 2002. However, the preliminary 2003 Census-based data fell abruptly. Because the Census often revises its estimates in the year following initial publication, this discrepancy may disappear in the final figures.

The largest systematic divergence occurred in the North, where WWPA estimates related to the Census and our

capacity estimates have risen over time. Approximately six large mills, mostly in Maine, produce most of the lumber in the North. The reported capacities and production volumes of these mills have not shown the kinds of increases implied by the WWPA estimates. Therefore, if more production is coming from the region, its source must be smaller opera-tions, some of whose capacities we do not account for. If that is the case, however, the Census, which canvasses all operating mills, should have registered these volumes. The differences between these data remain to be resolved.

The ratios between Statistics Canada productions and our capacities are shown in Figure 4. The production data fell below our capacity figures in each year except for 1999, when production exceeded our capacity east of the Rockies.

Employment and ProductivityIn the United States, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2004) tracks combined employment in sawmills, planing mills (both soft- and hardwoods), and wood preservation plants. By contrast, the data in this report are limited to soft-wood mills only and as such complement the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ more general data.

By employment we mean only those who are directly in-volved in procuring, processing, administering, and selling wood at a site. Remote location staffs of large firms, loggers and haulers, and those employed by other non-lumber pro-ducing facilities within a complex fall outside of our defini-tion, and we have attempted to remove data associated with them where practical.

On that basis, we estimated employment in U.S. softwood sawmills in 2004 at 55,300 people compared to 66,200 in 1995. This 16% loss over the 9 years closely parallels the more general data available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which also shows a 16% decline, from 119,000 to 100,000 (Fig. 5).

Our estimates of Canadian softwood sawmill employment were about 49,200 people in 1995 compared to 43,500 in 2004, for a decline of 12%. This compares with estimates for all sawmills from Statistics Canada of 54,900 in 1995 and 45,600 in 2003, a 17% decline (Fig. 6).

In terms of output per employee, our numbers indicate about a 45% improvement in the United States and 50% in Canada (Fig. 7). Canadian labor productivity has tended to be 5% to 15% higher than that of U.S. mills, and a closer look at 2004 productivities by type of mill indicates some reasons why (Table 6). Labor productivity (represented here against capacity) is least in value-added board, cedar, and specialty operations (Columns 1 and 5, Table 6), where greater prod-uct variety and thinner pieces require more labor per unit of output. Productivity in U.S. mills was lower in both catego-ries. On the other hand, productivity is greatest in dimen-sion mills, where production focuses on more standardized, high-volume commodities (Column 2, Table 6). Access to technology is unhindered and spreads freely across borders, resulting in no statistically significant differences between U.S. and Canadian mills. However, studs, even though they are similar high-volume commodities, showed higher pro-ductivity in the United States. The explanation lies partly in the raw material, which is smaller in boreal Canada where harsh growing conditions limit tree sizes. Smaller logs affect throughput per log and labor productivity. Also, many west-ern U.S. mills sell lumber green, requiring fewer personnel to handle drying. Finally, timber mills, which are more prev-alent in the United States, show about equal productivities.

Log Size and Lumber Recovery We explored two key operating characteristics of sawmill-ing: the log sizes being processed (small-end diameter) and lumber recoveries (board feet lumber per unit of log). We received information about average sawlog dimensions from 268 mills, accounting for 48.7 million m3 (20.6 × 109 bf, 28% of total production). Two hundred thirty five, repre-senting 50.5 million m3 (21.4 × 109 bf, 29% of production) shared data on recoveries.

Log Size One of sawmilling’s major transitions has been the shift from large old-growth to smaller second-growth timber. Ini-tially the resource consisted mainly of big virgin trees avail-able in abundance in many parts of the continent. As one region’s supply was exhausted, the industry migrated to an-other more remote region. By the 1950s, however, the easily accessible old-growth became scarce, forcing loggers to move to higher elevations and more remote locations to get suitable timber. Often these trees were smaller in proportion to the harshness of the environment where they grew. But what was “small” 40 years ago has a quaint ring today. The regearing of one mill to accommodate “smaller” logs with just an average of 300 bf per log was deemed newsworthy in 1960, even though such a log implies a small-end diameter of 40 to 48 cm (16 to 19 in.), depending on the version of Scribner scale used (The Lumberman 1960). Contemporary industry primarily harvests second-growth, smaller dimen-sion trees that grew back in formerly cutover places or small virgin timber where harsh environments stunt tree growth. Technology- and regulation-driven improvements in tree-stem use have also backed this trend; standard minimum top sizes were 20 cm (8 in.) in the 1970s and are now 11.5 cm (4.5 in.) or smaller.

To determine contemporary log sizes, we asked contacts to indicate the average small-end diameter of their logs. We

derived regional averages by weighting each mill’s average by its share of production. To display the results without re-vealing individual mill numbers, we aggregated the data into regions that would have a sufficiently large sample within ecologically homogeneous areas to enable aggregations of similar logs. The results are displayed in Table 7.

The biggest logs were found in coastal British Columbia, where larger, older growth trees are still available. We note, however, that the sample was small and that six of the seven were specialty mills. Forty percent of coastal British Colum-bia capacity consists of dimension mills whose wood supply consists of smaller logs. A more realistic estimate of the av-erage regional log size, therefore, is about 8 cm (3 in.) less than our sample average. United States coastal mills west of the Cascades, where old-growth timber is now scarce but growing conditions favor large trees, had the next biggest.

In the interior of British Columbia, the predominant re-source consists of lodgepole pine and white spruce. The for-mer is a bigger version of jack pine found farther east. The log sizes used in this region reflect these resources and are similar to the logs used in the U.S. West interior.

The greatest contrast in log size is found between maritime (25 cm, 9.9 in.) and boreal regions (15.9 cm, 6.2 in.). Prox-imity to the Atlantic Ocean moderates growing conditions in the maritime region so that tree growth, primarily of white pine and spruces, results in medium-size logs. Along simi-lar latitudes, but farther inland, the climate becomes more continental and tree-growing conditions less favorable. Con-sequently, the white/black spruce–jack pine–balsam fir trees that predominate in the boreal forest grow more slowly and produce smaller girths.

Historically, much of the boreal resource was most suited for pulp until advances in small-log sawmilling technology in the 1990s enabled their greater use for lumber as well. Chief among these were scanning systems capable of tak-ing readings along the surface of a log to accurately map its shape; computers that determine in real time the optimal cuts; and positioning systems that enable the saws to carry out the prescribed cuts. All this has to occur at sufficiently high speeds (25 or more stud logs or 12 or so dimension logs per minute) to maintain production rates competi-tive with mills sawing larger timber. Also significant to the economics of small-log milling was finding value for trim ends and short pieces in finger-jointed studs and as webs in trusses, along with the use of smaller dimensions (2 by 3’s) in trusses and non-load-bearing partitions.

In the U.S. South, where the timber economy has shifted to second-growth or plantation wood, average log sizes are lower still at around 22.5 cm (8.9 in.). In the U.S. Midwest, the forests consist primarily of hardwoods. The 25% or so that are softwoods consist mainly of medium-size white and red pine and smaller spruce–pine–fir found in the boreal region to the north. A few larger mills have been built to use

the latter, small-diameter material for commodity lumber production. A greater number of smaller mills specialize in white pine, sometimes in combination with hardwoods. The somewhat small size of the “average” log shown in Table 7 reflects the influence of the handful of large com-modity mills.

Sawlog size also tends to vary with the product (Table 8). Mills specializing in studs use the smallest sizes whereas specialty, timber, and board mills use largest. Log sizes in dimension mills fall in between.

Lumber Recovery Wood is the costliest component in sawmilling, so its use is a key variable. The amount of lumber recovered per log is affected by several steps in the sawing process.

The first is bucking of trees into logs. Pieces with inad-equate trim or broken ends result in more trim waste. Large end checks also lead to shorter usable lumber.

At the saw, the set target size has to take into account drying shrinkage, planer allowance, and thickness variation caused by movement either of the saw or of the log itself because of the holding mechanism’s inability to withstand the sawing stresses. The more variation present, the greater the target size has to be, reducing recovery. Measures that can lessen variation, and thus possibly increase recovery, include

thicker sawblades that sway less but generate more sawdust, or slower feed speeds that decrease stress but at the cost of reduced throughput.

Product mix also affects recoveries because smaller pieces require more sawlines. But nominal lumber sizes can also falsify recovery signals because thin pieces can be credited with more volume than they actually contain. Fence posts that are 14 mm (9/16 in.) thick but are counted as 25-mm (1-in.) boards, for example, can result in seemingly spec-tacular recovery numbers even while the saw performance may be poor.

In drying, a combination of variable wood properties (mois-ture content, compression wood around knots, and juvenile wood) and uneven conditions within a kiln takes a toll. Pieces that warp or check excessively may have to be cut short or discarded.

Recovery is further affected by edging and trimming of flitches, pieces that have wane on one or both edges. Edging and trimming decisions involve tradeoffs between getting the longest possible length or the greatest possible width, or cutting a long, tapered flitch into several pieces to mini-mize edging loss. The importance of edging is amplified as log size falls because more of the pieces have outside edges compared with large logs where the preponderance of boards comes from within the core with no wane. Wane allowances on manufactured lumber dramatically increase yields in small logs compared with sawing full-size pieces only. The complexity of the decisions is compounded by grade considerations that can yield more value even while sacrificing some volume. Optimizing edger systems that scan pieces and calculate the best solutions in real time have been widely deployed to deal with these complexities.

Losses in the different stages of lumber production can be summarized as follows, where LRF stands for lumber recov-ery factor:

LRF = (LT × SS × DD × ET × PS) × 424/VA (bf/m3), orLRF = (LT × SS × DD × ET × PS) × 12/VA (bf/ft3)

LT = (1 – fractional volume loss of log trim)SS = (1 – fractional volume loss of slabs and sawdust)DD = (1 – fractional volume loss due to drying)ET = (1 – fractional volume loss in edgings and trimmings)PS = (1 – fractional volume loss in planer shavings)VA = real to nominal lumber volume adjustment

A stud mill exclusively sawing 2.4-m (8-ft) 2 by 4’s from small “micro-sawtimber” logs would have a nominal volume adjustment factor of 0.656; for example, (1.5 × 3.5)/(2 × 4). With values for LT through PS as shown in Table 9, it would reap a lumber recovery factor (LRF) of 264 bf/m3 (7.5 bf/ft3). By contrast, a dimension mill sawing a more diverse mix of products, from larger sawlogs, with a nominal adjustment factor of 0.70, and parameters as shown in Column 2 (Dimension mill), Table 9, would obtain a

higher LRF of 304 bf/m3 (8.6 bf/ft3). Values of variables LT through PS are outside the scope of this report. Instead we focus on their collective effects expressed though a process-wide LRF.

Measurement units of recovery vary, usually depending on how the timber is purchased. For the sake of clarity, the above-referenced LRF is preferred because the influence of log size on recovery is lower. Lumber recovery per cubic volume has become the standard measure of recovery in Canada. In the United States, however, where logs change

hands on the basis of weight, cords, and a variety of log scales, there is no common standard. To create uniform, comparable data, we converted such recoveries from the various units to LRFs using the available information on average log sizes and the type of log scale involved. The details of these conversions are supplied in Appendix A. See Fonseca (2005) for a basic reference source on timber mea-surement conventions and conversions. For the benefit of mills that do not use LRFs, however, we show the data both in original units as reported and the larger standardized set (Tables 10a and 10b).

Overruns, International ¼-inch log scaleOverrun is a term for the amount by which actual recovery exceeds the log scale estimate. In the U.S. Northeast, Virgin-ia, Maine, and parts of Michigan, mills scale softwood logs by the International ¼-inch log rule. Recoveries in this form were given by 13 mills. Among the board foot scales, this rule, by taking log taper partially into account, is the most accurate. Consequently, the average volume-weighted over-run was a relatively small 1.23 (23% more than predicted by the scale, Table 10a).

Figure 8 illustrates the reported values relative to average log diameters (Note: two mills reported identical overruns and diameters, hence there are only 12 points on the chart.). Even this rule, however, tends to understate potential re-coveries at the small end of the size range. When the data were converted to LRFs, the mill that achieved the high-est overrun with 16.5-cm (6.5-in.) logs dropped below the sample average (Fig. 9). This indicates that, as a measure of recovery efficiency, overruns can mislead at the small end of sawable log sizes.

Overruns, short-log Scribner scaleMany mills in the U.S. West east of the Cascades, and some in the South and Midwest, measure recovery by the short-log version (6.1 m (20 ft) or less) of the Scribner scale. We had 13 such results. The cohort weighted average was 1.51 (51% over scale, Table 10a). This scale’s lower accuracy relative to the International ¼-inch scale is reflected in consistently higher overruns along the diameter spectrum. As before, converting these data into LRFs diminished the yield-boosting effect of declining log size.

Overruns, long-log Scribner scaleThe long-log version (up to 12.2 m (40 ft)) of the Scribner rule is used in the U.S. coastal Pacific Northwest. The pre-dictive accuracy of the rule is among the lowest, principally because of the longer allowed lengths, which increase the volume in the tapered portion of the log outside of the scaling cylinder, defined by the small-end diameter. Conse-quently, for the 22 mills the average overrun was 2.13, more than double the scaled volume. As with all board foot scales, overruns generally increase with declining log diameters.

Recovery in weightWeight scaling is widespread in the U.S. South and other places where small size and relatively uniform quality make individual log scaling uneconomic. Weight incorporates all parts of a log and is a proxy for cubic volume. Log weights can deviate from cubic because of variations in moisture content and specific gravity, but within the same species the deviations are relatively small and tend to even out in large log populations.

Twenty-four weight recovery factors were provided, of which 22 were from the U.S. South. Among the recover-ies from the U.S. South, the effect of diameter was muted and the opposite of that for overruns. That is, recoveries decreased with decreasing log size, which reflects the higher share of edging and slab volumes in small logs. The average lumber recovery was 221 bf/ton, or 4.5 tons per mbf (thou-sand board feet).

Recovery in cords In some instances, log input is measured in cords. The cord is a quasi-cubic volume measure, but the amount of wood contained in a cord declines with log size and, therefore, recoveries also decline at smaller diameters. For the five observations reported in cords, the recovery of lumber aver-aged 494 bf/cord, but the data were too few to determine a trend.

Recovery in cubic volume: lumber recovery factorThis then brings us to our preferred measure of recovery, the LRFs, of which 113 gave both diameter and recovery. Combined with the 77 transformed recoveries originally measured in other units as described above, the total sample with both diameter and LRF was 190. The scatter of these LRFs against diameter is shown in Figure 10. Their weight-ed average was 263 bf/m3 (7.4 bf/ft3). The weighted average across the total sample (including the 44 where there was a recovery but not a diameter) was slightly lower at 261 bf/m3 (7.4 bf/ft3).

The weighted average U.S. LRF is of additional interest. Concern about the adequacy of timber supplies in the 1970s led to inquiries about ways that the amount of lumber re-coverable from the same input of logs could be increased (President’s Advisory Panel on Timber and the Environment 1973). At the time, the estimate of national LRF was pegged at 6.5 bf/ft3. Employing the best practices, it was projected that LRFs could be increased in the range from 300 to 320 bf/m3 (8.5 bf/ft3 to 9.1 bf/ft3) for logs between 21 and 33 cm (8 and 13 in.) in diameter. Our sample showed an average U.S. LRF of 279 bf/m3 (7.9 bf/ft3). This indicates the industry is very close to the level thought realistically achievable for recovery (the smaller size of contemporary logs that constitute the input of most sawmills could account for much of the shortfall).Figure 10—Lumber recovery factor (LRF) compared to

There was considerable variability between mills. As Figure 10 suggests, some of this can be ascribed to log size. As with weight, recoveries tend to fall with decreasing log di-ameter. This again reflects the increasing share of slabs and edgings when standard-size prismatic boards are extracted from basically round logs.

Differences also were also seen by product type (Table 10b). Timber mills had the highest average LRF, partly reflecting the larger log sizes used by those mills and partly the fewer sawlines, and thus sawdust, required to generate such lum-ber. Dimension mills showed the next highest level followed by board mills. Lumber recovery in stud mills was the sec-ond lowest, reflecting the generally smaller logs used in stud production. Specialty mills obtained the lowest recovery, though in each case the distribution of LRFs was wide, as summarized in Figure 11.

Western U.S. mills displayed the highest LRFs, whereas mills in the boreal region of Canada showed the lowest, which reflects in part the size of the log supply by region. An exception to the general effect of log diameters is the low LRF found in coastal British Columbia. This region has access to large logs but has a reputation for older, technolog-ically dated mills. Outmoded technology could be one cause of lower yields. The stricter quality (“no wane”) standards of Japanese grading rules, where much of the region’s sup-ply is exported, could be another.

The yield-enhancing effects of precision scanning and cut-ting technology conflict with the yield-reducing effects of smaller logs. Trade literature is amply supplied with anec-dotal reports of one-time 10%, 15%, 20%, or more gains in yields following newly installed optimizing hardware but little information about lower yields stemming from the use of smaller logs. One 15-year record on yields in sawmilling is data from the Canadian Province of Quebec, summarized in Figure 12 (personal communication, André D’Arcy, Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources, 2005). These data have little likely confounding effect from log sizes and showed 18% gains in yield achieved by all mills over 15 years, with integrated mills gaining 23% whereas non- integrated mills showed 14% gains. The average for all mills in 2004 was 235 bf/m3, close to 229 bf/m3 found in our data for mills in the boreal region.

Figure 13 summarizes the empirical relationships between diameter and the various log scales, derived by fitting curves to each data set. The three board-foot log scales increase exponentially as log size declines, whereas the weight and cubic measures of recovery show opposite but more muted tendencies. These curves can be used to standardize specific mill data obtained from particular batches of logs. If mill yields are higher than the relevant point on the curve for that diameter, it indicates yield performance above the norms found in this study, while below the line indicates the oppo-site. These empirical formulas are summarized in Appendix B (Table B-1).

Over and above log size differences, other variables influ-ence recovery and a further refinement of the LRF–diameter relationship is to take those into account. As noted above, LRF varies with product type. Further, log measurement protocols affect apparent LRFs through different allowances for trim, defects, and diameter measurements. For example, in most Canadian Provinces, volume allowances for trim are not made, nor are deductions for some defects, which are instead accounted for in the grading rules. These differences can increase log input volumes, thus reducing LRFs. Mul-tiple regression isolates the effects of these variables and more accurately partitions the population. Table 11 summa-rizes the effects of each of these variables on LRFs. These formulas are also contained in Appendix B.

Economic Conditions and Outlook in United StatesLong-range economic events can be stripped down into three basic components: trend, cyclical, and random. The first two are subject to analysis and reasonably accurate prediction. The unfortunate tendency of the latter random element to intrude and often overwhelm the first two makes economic prognostication somewhat speculative.

A fortuitous alignment of beneficial tendencies in U.S. trend and cyclical components has led to exceptionally favorable economic circumstances for the lumber industry. Housing has performed particularly well, with construction rising since the early 1990s, fueled by underlying demographics. Around the mid-1970s, births in the United States began to rise again as the maturing post-war “baby boom” generation arrived at its family-rearing stage. These demographics are now swelling the ranks of those entering adulthood and the mainstream of economic activity where the first requirement of an independent life is shelter (Fig. 14). Surging immigra-tion reinforced this trend.

These two demographic factors alone would have assured strong housing demand. But adding cyclical fuel was the extraordinarily low interest rates that have prevailed since 2001. Low interest rates followed the stock market collapse of 2000, the severity of which compelled the central bank (Federal Reserve) to reduce rates to generational lows in order to cushion the economy from the shock of the collapse in equities. The central bank has been able to maintain this policy thanks to worldwide trade liberalization that

facilitated the emergence of China and other low-cost countries into the world trading arena. The new supply of low-cost goods undermined the power of domestic produc-ers and unions to command higher prices and wages, thus moderating the potentially inflationary impact of extremely cheap credit.

Housing, however, was another story. Young people, im-migrants, and other low-income householders, who might otherwise have begun their consumption of shelter with apartments or mobile homes, were able to enter into single-family home ownership sooner. Home prices consequently inflated at rates double or more than the general rate of infla-tion, creating a windfall for home owners and generating a self-reinforcing cycle of demand for this appreciating asset class manifested in rising purchases of second homes and homes for investment.

Consumers also used rising real estate values by borrowing against inflating home values to offset lagging wage income. The indebtedness of consumers relative to the underly-ing productivity of the economy has thus been increasing. Whereas some see that indebtedness as an increasing risk to the economy, others note that the rising indebtedness has occurred against a backdrop of rising asset values, thus keeping ratio of the overall debt to equity in balance. If real estate values, however, have become unsustainably high and were to revert to mean, then that could leave highly lever-aged borrowers vulnerable.

In grappling with these issues, many economists have noted similarities between the current economic environment and that of the early 1970s. Included in this are large excesses of government expenditures over income, low interest rates, large balance of trade deficits, high energy prices, and war expenditures. Until recently the use of the 1970s as an

indicator of present trends has worked well. Several ma-jor divergences, however, have become evident in recent months. One is inflation, which, as officially measured by the consumer price index, has risen less sharply (Fig. 15). A second is the performance of the dollar, which in the previ-ous period traded sharply lower, but thus far has performed better (Fig. 16). A third is interest rates, which have contin-ued at low real levels despite ten increases (Fig. 17).

Regarding inflation, we note that the definition of the con-temporary consumer price index differs from its 1970s predecessor. Chief among the differences is the replacement of home prices by “owners’ equivalent rent of primary resi-dence.” Until recently this has not mattered much because the changes in the two prices did not differ significantly. In 2004, however, they have diverged sharply, as shown by recalculating the consumer price index using home prices instead of the present day alternative. With that change, the 2004 inflation is almost twice the official rate (Fig. 18).

Although not commented on much, the boom-like condi-tions in real estate have played a role in the Federal Re-serve’s ten successive quarter-point increases in its Federal Funds rate. Somewhat to the puzzlement of the Federal Reserve, however, their increases in short-term rates have not carried over into long-term rates, which are more deter-minative of mortgage markets and thus of housing. Some view this as indicative of tame long-term inflation expecta-tions and thus a sign that the current up cycle has much life left in it. Others, however, point to the growing quantity of paper IOUs accumulating in Asian central banks as a result of Asian trade surpluses as the reason for the low long-term rates, casting the state of long-term credit in less favorable light.

Nevertheless, the above-mentioned divergences in key financial indicators imply that the downward stage of the 1970s cycle that would be due around late 2005 or 2006

will be, at the least, postponed. This means that the hous-ing cycle is unlikely to wilt as it did in the mid-1970s, but also that the speculative excesses, and the ensuing danger from them, will continue to build. In a recent paper on hous-ing market conditions, economists at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) have examined home market conditions in major U.S. metropolitan markets and found an unprecedented number in which conditions fit their defini-tion of a “boom” (Angell and Williams 2005). The FDIC economists pointed to indicators of speculation in an expan-sion of subprime lending, high loan-to-value mortgages, growing use of home equity lines of credit, expanding use of adjustable rate mortgages, growing purchases of home as investments, and a widening home price–consumer income gap. They noted that past booms tended to end in periods of price stagnation rather than collapse, and when the latter did occur, it was relatively rare and precipitated mostly by local-ized economic distress. In 2004, the broadening of the U.S. housing boom to more areas may imply a growing role for national factors, chiefly mortgage credit conditions. If those credit conditions should then stiffen, the likelihood of a less benign correction increases.

In summarizing these discussions, we note primarily that the demographics of housing demand are good and point to many years of above-normal activity. Shorter term cycli-cal influences, however, may rest on less secure footing and, if they turn, could temporarily dampen the upward effects of demographics. Monetary authorities seem to be aware of the risks that out-of-control asset markets pose and have been attempting to slow them through a campaign of gradual interest rate hikes. But their approach of doing so in pre-telegraphed small steps may have worked against their intentions, as long-term rates have not increased. A likely course is the continuation of the present approach of quarter-point increases until a supposedly neutral rate at or around 4% is reached. At that point, if some of the interest-sensitive sectors of the economy, such as small businesses and consumers (whose borrowing costs are tied to the short-term prime rate) begin to show some weakness, the credit tightening would likely be relaxed. Under that scenario, a downturn in housing would be delayed, and if one does oc-cur, is apt to be less severe than the 1973–1975 down cycle. But, until some parts of the economy begin to show signs of less robust growth or weakening, the current spate of credit tightening is likely to continue.

We can point with greater confidence to the likely evolution of lumber supply. The ability of the lumber industry to boost capacity and production is historically well demonstrated. The most recent manifestation of that occurred in the first half of 2005 when, despite continued good field activity and sales, a buildup of production overwhelmed even that strong level of demand, sending prices for most western species to a 20% or more correction. Despite the increased consoli-dation in fewer, larger firms, the ability of the industry to

restrain its production appears limited until prices below breakeven levels force it to do so. Looking ahead, the avail-ability of large volumes of beetle-killed timber in British Columbia, the resurgent second-growth on private lands in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, and the rising productivity of southern plantation timberlands imply few resource barriers to increasing capacity. Thus, oversupply rather than under-demand appears to pose the greater threat to lumber market stability and profits in the next few years.

Appendix A—Conversion of Recoveries in Various Units to Cubic MetersLumber recovery is measured in several ways. Each can serve its purpose as a standard of reference for a particular mill, but their variety complicates comparisons between mills. To provide an industry-wide standard, we converted each recovery based on a particular unit of measure to a cubic meter (foot) basis as follows:

International ¼ inchThe average volume of a log in terms of the International board foot rule is estimated from the formula definition for the International ¼-inch scale, using the average small-end log size (D) and assuming a (net) 16-ft- (4.8-m-) long log. The cubic volume is derived from the Smalian formula, again based on the small-end log diameter, a taper of 2 in. (51 mm), and the 16-ft (4.8-m) length.

International ¼-inch bf (16-ft logs) = {0.22 × [D2 + (D + 0.5)2 + (D + 1)2 + (D + 1.5)2] – 0.71 × [D + (D + 0.5) + (D + 1) + (D + 1.5)]} × 0.905

ft3 volume inside bark = 0.005454 × [D2 + (D + 2)2]/2 × 16

Overrun × Int ¼ bf/ft3 = bf, LT/ft3 = LRF

Scribner Decimal C scale, short-log versionThe Scribner board foot volume is estimated from an empir-ical conversion formula estimated by Cahill for populations of logs scaled according to protocols in the areas east of the Cascades for 20-ft (2.4-m) and shorter logs.

bf LS/ft3 LS = 5.336 + 0.085 × D – 13.93/D

Overrun × (5.336 + 0.085 × D – 13.93/D) = bf, LT/ft3 = LRF

Scribner Decimal C scale, long-log versionThe Scribner board foot volume is also estimated from an empirical conversion formula by Cahill for populations of

logs scaled according to protocols in the areas west of the Cascades for 40-ft (16.2-m) or shorter logs.

bf LS/ft3 LS = 10.16 – 0.04 × D – 88.18/D + 290.58/D2

Overrun × (10.16 – 0.04 × D – 88.18/D + 290.58/D2) = bf, LT/ft3 = LRF

WeightRecoveries expressed in board feet per ton were converted to cubic by multiplying the board feet per ton yield factor by 71 lb/ft3 for southern pine and 64 lb/ft3 for red pine.

CordsRecoveries expressed in board feet per cord were converted to board feet per cubic foot by dividing the per cord yield factor by 73 ft3/cord.

Appendix B—Benchmarking Formulas Equations relating recoveries by various measures to log diameter can be used as industry benchmarks against which a particular mill’s performance can be evaluated more pre-cisely by eliminating the effect of log size. The numbers in parentheses are reference values derived at 10 in. (25 cm).

International ¼ inchbf LT/bf Int ¼ LS = 0.78815 + 4.17511/DR2 = 0.48 (1.21)

Scribner, Dec C, short logbf LT/Scrib Short log LS = 0.39189 + 10.6801/DR2 = 0.53 (1.46)

Scribner Dec C, long logbf LT/Scrib Long log LS = 5.98529 × D–0.4522

R2 = 0.54 (2.11)

bf/tonbf LT/ton LS = 146.659 × D0.16014

R2 = 0.04 (212)

bf/m3, all millsbf LT/m3 LS = 199.717 × D0.10365

R2 = 0.07 (254)

This last formula was re-estimated with additional explana-tory variables to account for some of the systematic vari-ability in the data. These additional variables were specific product types (dimension, stud, and by elimination, all oth-ers) and region (mills in Canada where log scaling protocols differ from U.S. practices in disallowing trim and some defects, and, again by elimination, mills in the United States and Alberta, where recorded log volumes exclude trim).

These result in the following specific formulas for various mill categories: United States Canada Board & Specialty Timber

174.146 × D0.13729 (1a) 160.218 × D0.13729 (1b)

Stud 200.223 × D0.13729 (2a) 184.209 × D0.13729 (2b)

Dimension 202.480 × D0.13729 (3a) 186.286 × D0.13729 (3b)

Thus, for example, a dimension mill in Canada, except Al-berta, would compare its results against the benchmark pro-vided by Equation (3b), while a similar mill in the United States would more appropriately use Equation (3a). Like-wise, in benchmarking timber costs, an allowance of 8% should be factored in (i.e., $60/m3 in Canada would be the equivalent of $65/m3 in the United States).

Note: All variables were significantly different from zero at the 99% level of confidence.

Appendix C—Sawmill Capacity and Timber Inventory by State and Province The following maps and tables show past and current capac-ity of sawmills and the availability of timber, by county, in the vicinity of these mills in 30 States. Information on timber density by county in Canada is not available; hence, those maps contain only sawmill sites.

The maps, and their associated tables, are arranged in alpha-betical order, as follows:
