Aspen Wood Products Utilization: Impact Of The Lake States Composites Industry, John A. Youngquist, Henry Spelter
Aspen Wood Products Utilization: Impact Of The Lake States Composites Industry, John A. Youngquist, Henry Spelter
Aspen Bibliography
The utilization of Lake States aspen for value-added products has increased dramatically in the last 15 to 18 years. This paper reviews aspen utilization for solid and composite wood products since 1970, discusses the forecasted future demand for wood-based composites, and reviews research that may influence future utilization of aspen in the Lake States.

Aspen Bibliography
Aspen is by far the most important hardwood in Minnesota. In addition to paper and oriented strandboard, approximately 100 million board feet of aspen are sawn annually. NRRI has a research and development program to convert the best 10 percent of this aspen lumber to fine furniture. Since this 10 million board feet of lumber is only one-quarter of one percent of the total U.S. furniture used we are hunting for a small market niche.

Aspen Bibliography
Aspen is an important resource to the northern United States and in Quebec and Ontario. Roundwood use for pulp in the Lake States has remained stable at 2 million cords since 1981, while use for flakeboard has increased five-fold. Despite the near doubling of use in this decade, real stumpage prices for aspen have remained stable, and the mill delivered prices have declined. The pulp industry is less cost and supply sensitive than the flakeboard industries. Substitutions of other species will occur when aspen supply declines. Resource decisions in the future will be driven by both markets and politics.

In the past, markets for quaking aspen timber from the Rocky Mountains have been insufficient to support significant harvesting. This shortage of markets severely restrained the potential for aspen management. As a result, many stands protected from wildfire gradually reverted to conifers (see the VEGETATIVE REGENERATION and FIRE chapters).

Kiln Drying Characteristics Of Studs From Rocky Mountain Aspen And Wisconsin Aspen, James C. Ward
Kiln Drying Characteristics Of Studs From Rocky Mountain Aspen And Wisconsin Aspen, James C. Ward
Aspen Bibliography
Aspen studs, 7/4-inch thick, from Rocky Mountain and Wisconsin trees will dry to required moisture contents within similar periods of time under conventional and high temperature kiln schedules. Bacterial wetwood occurs in both Rocky Mountain and Wisconsin aspen and causes severe drying problems from wet pockets, collapse, honeycomb, and ring failure. Presorting green lumber is a suggested solution to the wetwood problem.
