Tarif tables for mountain hemlock developed from an equation of total stem cubic-foot volume

Creator:: Bell, John F., Marshall, David D., Johnson, Gregory P., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Tarif access tables were developed for mountain hemlock [Tsuga mertensiana (Bong.) Carr.] on the Deschutes National Forest in the Central Oregon Cascade Mountains from an equation for cubic-foot volume including top and stump (CVTS). These tables provide access to the comprehensive tree-volume tarif system.

Heat conditioning of veneer blocks

Creator:: Resch, Helmuth, Parker, R., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Short-term heating of softwood veneer blocks temporarily softens the wood so that it can be peeled more readily. Heating reduces the depth of lathe checks and the likelihood of splitting and thereby increases the quality and quantity of veneer recovered. The softwood-plywood industry conventionally conditions blocks three ways: steaming blocks...
