Ample supply of small-diameter timber (SDT) will probably continue for the foreseeable future due to a host of circum-stances (timberland practices, land ownership patterns, gov-ernment regulations, fire prevention measures, and various environmental and political scenarios). Because the current and forecasted supply of SDT far exceeds demand, this study explored a possible market for increasing use of SDT. This study explored the use of SDT as wood posts in the highway industry, both in the roundwood form and machined to a square form. Posts are widely used for guardrails, signage, and fencing. |
