Fine hardwood veneer logs represent the pinnacle of log quality and timber value, with prices up to 10 times the price of grade 1 sawlogs. However, trees of this quality can be rare as hens’ teeth! Are there practices foresters can use to improve the odds of producing veneer quality logs? Are there mistakes we make while managing stands with veneer potential? Join us on this episode of SilviCast as we explore the silviculture of managing veneer with Dr. Jan Wiedenbeck, recently retired Research Project Leader and Forest Products Technologist with the U.S. Forest Service’s Northern Research Station.
