 FOREWORD
— Kentucky's sawmills are the bulwark of its forest-based industries. Thousands
of families receive all or part of their livelihood through employment inwoods or mills.
The sawmilling industry develops wealth where it is most sorely needed, in our hard-
pressed rural areas. Kentucky's forest resources are adequate to sustain a heavy
expansion in its forest industries.
- This directory is intended as a marketing aid for Kentucky sawmill operators to
enable them to find additional and better markets for their lumber. Information contain-
ed in this directorywas obtained through a mail canvass of wood-using firms in Kentucky
and portions of neighboring states with atotal haul distance generally less than 250 miles.
The data reported by these firms are for the 1962 calendar year.
, E The study was undertaken by the University of Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
_ g Station through its Department of Agricultural Economics. Financial and technical
assistance for the study was provided by the Central States Forest Experiment Station,
Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
- This directory is not a complete listing of wood-using firms in the study area.
Some firms requested that their names not be included in the directory. Some firms
__ may have been unintentionally overlooked; others provided insufficient information for
inclusion in the directory. Listing of a firm in the directory in no way implies its ‘
· recommendation by the University of Kentucky or the U.S. Forest Service.

 ` MARKETS FOR KENTUCKY LUMBER
A Listing of Some Morkets For Lumber in Kentucky cmd Neighboring Stotes
- BY
JOHN C. REDMAN
. Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station
and
ERRETT M. CONWAY
Central States Forest Experiment Station
Kentucky has over 400 commercial sawmills and dimension mills producing
" lumber and lumber items for sale to various wood-using industries. The sawmills of
the state are, by far, the largest users of the raw products of the forests and consume
over 90 percent of all the round wood harvested annually. In 1962, they produced an
estimated 466 million board feet of lumber. l
I in Kentucky's commercial forests occupy approximately 11-1/2 million acres and
t ` cover about 45 percent of the total area of the state. Almost half the commercial forest
area is in the mountainous, eastern one-third of the state. In this area, 76 percent of
the land is in commercial forest, with some counties having as much as 90 percent or
_ more of the land area in forest cover. The hardwood forest types make up about 87
percent of the entire commercial forest area in Kentucky.
` Hardwood lumber is Kentucky's leading forest product. Over 94 percent of the
· lumber produced in the state in 1962 was of the hardwood species. Yellow pine, white
pine, hemlock, red cedar, and cypress accounted for less than 6 percent of the total
lumber production.
The fact that Kentucky has the largest volume of live hardwood sawtimber (over
25 billion board feet) of all the states proves it to be a reliable source of hardwood
- lumber. It is also significant that the annual growth on the reservoir of hardwood saw-
timber is over one billion board feet, about twice the annual drain for lumber and other
products by the primary wood—using industries of the state. 2
· A VARIETY OF TREE SPECIES
Kentucky has variety in its tree species. It offers the lumber buyer a range of
commercial wood species not exceeded by any other state. From the flood plains and
bottoms of the streams and rivers of central and western Kentucky come the tree species
associated with the southern bottom—land hardwoods, including cypress. In the rich

FIG. 1. -— EASTERN KENTUCKY PROVIDES AN ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF MIXED
HARDWOOD SPECIES OF IMPORTANCE TO THE LUMBER INDUSTRY. (PHOTO--
BRUNNER STUDIO, BEREA, KY. )
coves of the eastern Kentucky highlands, the famed Appalachian hardwoods are produced
which are important to the furniture and other woodworking industries using fine hard-
woods. In between and intermixed with these two areas is a complex of topography,
soils, exposure, and moisture conditions that has resulted in the broad range of com-
mercial species, both hard and softwoods, that make up the rest of Kentucky's forest
COV€I`.
Kentucky is an important hardwood lumber-producing state, ranking prominent-
ly in the 10 top hardwood lumber-producing states in the nation. It has maintained such
a position for over a century. It ranked third in 1962 and 1963.
Of more importance, Kentucky's present forest resource and potential are such
that it can sustain this historical record and even improve upon it. Kentucky ranks
first in the nation in its live sawtimber resource of hickory and oak.3 It ranks fourth,
behind Missouri, West Virginia, and Virginia, in volume of preferredwhite oak species.
 
3"[`imber Resources for America‘s Future, Forest Service, U. S. D. A. , Forest Resources Report No. 14.

 It likewise ranks fourth behind West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin with regard
to the preferred red oak species. Only Virginia and North Carolina narrowly exceed
Kentucky in yellow poplar. New York and Pennsylvania are the only two states that sur-
" pass Kentucky in the soft maple—beech species group. New York and Wisconsin alone
are shown to have a better supply of the species combination of ash, basswood, and
black walnut than Kentucky. Kentucky even ranks well among the first 10 states in
respect to the important species combination of hard maple and yellow birch. Kentucky
does have a substantial forest resource with a wide variety of highly desirable species
for the production of lumber (Table 1).
KENTUCKY VALUES ITS TIMBER RESOURCES
Kentucky is aware of the importance of its extensive forest resource to the
welfare of the state and the nation. Forestry programs to improve the quality, through
protection, management, utilization and marketing, of its forest resource and its products
are impressive. The State Division of Forestry of the Department of Natural Resources
is well organized and staffed to provide protection from fire, insects, and disease for
_ the forests of the state. The Division of Forestry helps landowners improve forest
management and the harvesting, processing and marketing of timber products. The Di-
. _ vision also operates forest nurseries to provide planting stock for landowners. Through
the Wood Utilization Division of the Department of Commerce, the state provides assist-
ance to forest industries functioning or desiring to locate within the state.
V The federal government operates a national forest within the state, carrying out
the principles of "multiple use, *· and maintains forest research activities through the
Central States Forest ExperimentStation. The Soil Conservation Service, also an agency
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, works closely with landowners in forest im-
* provement. The University of Kentucky, by itself and in cooperation with other agencies,
carries out forestry programs of research, education, and extension. Non-government
organizations in the state withan active interest in the state‘s forest resources and their
development include among others, the Kentucky Banker's Association, the Kentucky
Farm Bureau Federation and the Society of American Foresters . State—wide and regional
meetings such as the annual Conservation Congress, the Governor's Conference on
· Forestry, and Regional Development Programs accent the interest of Kentuckians in
their forest resource and forest industries.
. LABOR TRAINED FOR THE TASK
— Kentucky has traditionally been a lumber—producing state. The hard work of
A harvesting the forest products and sawmilling have been familiar to several generations
of Kentuckians. Whether by "spring tide" or modern highway, Kentucky has put its
forest products on the market. But, in this age of rapid change from brute strength to
mechanization and automation, the University of Kentucky has taken a step which is
singular in the nation in providing the wood industry with trained men. Now in its second
· year, the Wood Use Center at Quicksand is the focal point for the vocational training of
men for Kentucky's forest industries. Responsibilities for this program are shared by
the University with Educational and Economic Security personnel at state and local levels .
The Area Redevelopment Administration of the federal government, through its financial
· assistance, made this facility a reality.

CAPACITY TO PRODUCE GOOD LUMBER
Kentucky's sawmills can and do produce well—manufactured lumber. The num-
erous small mills of the post-World War II days have, by large, been replaced by fewer
. but larger mills of greater productive capacity. Today, most of Kentucky's lumber is
produced by sawmills cutting a million to 10 million board feet of lumber annually.
Greater mechanization and specialization have taken place both in the mill and the woods.
Mechanical loaders and log carriers, better skidding equipment, live decks, automated
mills, debarkers and chippers are becoming a familiar part of the Kentucky sawmill
industry.
These larger mills offer a well-manufactured product and provide astable source
of supply of lumber for their markets.
FAVORABLE MARKETING LOCATION
l Kentucky's geographical location places it at the hub of the highly industrial
eastern United States. Its lumber resources are equally accessible to manufacturers
and markets of the East, South, and Midwest. Almost 70 percent of the nation's popu-
lation lives within the 500-mile area surrounding and including Kentucky. Fifty percent
or more of the nation‘s population is within 400 miles or less of Kentucky's forest re-
» sources.
All forms of transportation (rail, highway, water, and air) are available and are
being improved. The most dramatic improvements in transportation within Kentucky
and the neighboring states are the new highway systems completed and under construction.
They already greatly facilitate the movement of lumber and other goods to market.

FIG. 3. —- MECHANICAL LOADERS PROVIDE A GREATER CAPACITY FOR HAN-
DLING LOGS.
The accelerated program calling for a better road system within Kentucky and other ‘
states of the Appalachian area will be a special boon to the marketing of Kentucky's
forest products in the near future.
LUMBER MARKETING _
Successful marketing is what keeps a sawmill in business. To produce a good
product is not enough. It must be sold-—and at a profit. A
Most lumber buyers seek producers who manufacture a quality product and afford —
a dependable source of su l . Fre uentl a bu er desires onl one s ecies of lumber
PP Y Q Y Y Y P
of a particular thickness, grade, and moisture condition. A knowledge of the products
and services required by the buyer is a big step in making a sale. Successful market-
ing means providing the buyer with the products and services he desires.
Having a well—manufactured product that a buyer needs is an important part of ··
marketing lumber and lumber products. Letting the buyer know you have the material
he needs through frequent sales contacts results in increased lumber sales. 4

 EXPLANATION OF THE DIRECTORY
_ The purpose of the lumber buyer's directory is to acquaint Kentucky lumber
producers with additional and perhaps better markets for their products. The directory
also serves to acquaint the saw mill operator with the species, grades, and moisture
and surface conditions sought by individual buyers. This information should enable the
producer to modify his products to meet desired market demands.
_ The directory is divided into lumber buyer classes. The individual buyers in
each class are listed in alphabetical order by state, for Kentucky and neighboring states.
The lumber grades and percentage of each grade usually purchased for a particular
lumber use are shown at the heading for each lumber buyer class and are listed in ·
Table 2. Accompanying each firm name and address, information is shown as to species
of lumber purchased, desired moisture and surface condition of the lumber, and an
_ indication of firm size based on number of employees. A numerical code is used to
identify tree species and appears on the inside of the folded edge of the back cover.
Moisture and surface condition of lumber desired by an individual firm is shownby
standard trade abbreviations. A further explanation of codes used in the directory
appears inside the back cover. In using the directory, it is suggested that a sawmill
operator have a good knowledge or list of lumber species he has or will have for mar-
- ket, by lumber grade and volume.
