Precycling woody materials

Article Abstract:

Oregon-based Juniper Northwest Inc. creates wood products from juniper trees, which are ordinarily considered a plant pest and unusable. The company harvests trees as soon as possible with a portable band mill after they are cut down, to prevent the wood from drying unevenly and excessively, and produces paneling, flooring, and furniture.
