Sorting Aspen Bolts And Drying Aspen Flitches For Sdr, R.S. Boone
Aspen Bibliography
Log sorting is necessary when processing aspen saw-dry-rip (SDR) to select optimum log diameter and to minimize number of logs with dark-colored centers. Wetwood, which is difficult to dry, is commonly associated with these dark centers. SDR processing involves drying 7/4- to 8/4-thick live-sawn flitches. Drying the flitch and then sawing studs produces straighter studs than sawing first and drying in stud form. High-temperature kiln drying (230 o F to 240 o F) has given good results with several species (such as, basswood and yellow-poplar). For species likely to contain wetwood (aspen, cottonwood, willow), high-temperature drying is not recommended. A …

Lumber Yield Potential Of Aspen [Populus Tremuloides] In The Rocky Mountains, E.M. Wengert, D.M. Donelly
Aspen Bibliography
The yield of sawn products from aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) trees from northern New Mexico and eastern Utah, both in terms of volume and dollar value, was related to trial tree and log grades. Trial grading systems generally allowed separation of trees and logs into different levels of volume and dollar value recovery.

Milling Of Aspen Into Lumber, C. J. Telford, F. B. Malcolm
Aspen Bibliography
In the manufacture of aspen lumber, the costs of stumpage and logging approximate 65 per cent of the total, and milling and sales 35 per cent. Milling efficiency is essential, but by itself it is not assurance of a profitable operation.
