HARDWOOD SAWMILLS & LUMBERYARDS: Enhance Your Profitability

By Bruce W Nesmith

Book Overview

This book was written and published during the worst hardwood lumber market since the Great Depression of the 1930's. The industry survived that and it will survive this one. American hardwoods are a resource that cannot be ignored or replaced. They have a place in the home of the future just as they did in the past. It may take time for demand to recover, but there will always be a market for American hardwoods. This is a book for the next generation of hardwood lumber people that take up the mantle so that they can learn from the experience of those generations before them. The knowledge, tips and suggestions in here comes from men who learned the business during the Great Depression, during the industry heydays of the 1950's and 60's, and from lessons that the author learned the hard way during his thirty-year career. This is not a "How To" book. It starts with the assumptions that you are in the hardwood sawmill business and have mastered the basics. This book is intended to help you move up to the next level, to help make you a world class hardwood lumber person. There is a list of resources in the back that will help with the basics of making and drying good lumber and they are recommended reading. This is the advanced course that is intended to help you make dimes into dollars on your bottom line. The material in here is timeless. It will not become obsolete or dated as long as steel saws have to cut the wood and experienced hands have to process it. It applies to all hardwood lumber companies, from the smallest to the largest. This is a book for everyone whether they operate a backkyard mini mill or a large high volume facility.
