Key to utilization of hardwoods on pine sites: the shaping-lathe headrig

Abstract

In past years, only 30% of southern pine biomass (above- and below-ground parts) ended as primary product. Moreover, hardwoods on pine sites were, and in many cases still are, destroyed with no thought of utilization. Now, however, processes have been invented that can raise utilization of each tree- pine and hardwood on pine sites a like to 67% of total biomass, thereby increasing product yield fourfold.
