The purpose is to identify WV businesses as well as promote the use of West Virginia Forest Products in local, regional, national, and international markets. The companies in this directory represent both the primary and secondary forest product industries in West Virginia and produce a multitude of products including: green lumber, kiln dried lumber, rustic rail fence, flooring, moulding/millwork, dimension parts, crossties/timbers/wood mats, pallets/ boxes/crates, engineered building products, cabinets, furniture, export and domestic sawlogs and veneer logs, log homes, veneer, charcoal, by- products, portable mill/custom sawing, custom drying, custom treating, mulch, wood pellets, and firewood. In this edition, following the preface, are two new features. First, maps are now provided that provide the location and name of all the green lumber producers (sawmills) and kiln dried lumber producers in the state. Following the map section, there is an alphabetical listing of companies, with available phone, fax, email, website information, and county location. On pages 13-21, we have produced a table of producers by county that lists each company and what range of products they manufacture. The table listing has been rotated to orient with the text, and the heading and column shading is color coordinated with the table category groupings in the index. These features should allow readers to locate a company directly, determine its location (county), identify it on the provided maps, and obtain a detailed listing of the company and all products manufactured by that company. The products are arranged in three categories: commercial products, consumer products, and other products. Commercial products are generally produced in large quantities and sold in bulk to other companies for further processing to make other products or sold at the retail level. These products are shipped to regional, national, and international markets by truck, rail, or containers via ports throughout the United States. Consumer products are items made with the individual customer in mind. Many of these companies are small businesses that offer a base product, but can customize the product built on the specifications of the consumer. These companies depend on direct communications with the consumer through local marketing efforts, phone calls, emails, or visits to the manufacturer’s location. These products are typically sold to the local and regional markets, however many companies have established customers on the national level. Other products are categories that do not fit well in the Commercial or Consumer groupings. These are companies with log or lumber yards, that buy logs or pulpwood, perform preservative treating, export logs, or produce and sell firewood. An on-line companion of this directory is maintained by the West Virginia Department of Commerce and West Virginia Division of Forestry. The website can be found at: ( http://www.wvcommerce.org/directory/forestproducts/default.aspx ) This website has additional information such as maps, direct links to websites, emails, and further company information. This directory will also be available in electronic form on the Appalachian Hardwood Center website, which can be found at ( http://ahc.wvu.edu ). To update this edition, input was solicited from regional and county economic development entities and WV Division of Forestry Regional Foresters. Green Lumber Producers Huskie Lumber Co., Inc.

  • Care and Preservation of Furniture and Wooden Objects by Louise Beck, Conservator, the Henry Ford
    The Care and Preservation of Furniture and Wooden Objects by Louise Beck, Conservator, The Henry Ford. Introduction Antique furniture and wooden objects can be maintained for years of use and enjoyment provided that some basic care and attention is given to their preservation. The conservation staff at The Henry Ford have compiled the information in this fact sheet to help individuals care for their objects and collections. The first step in the care of collections is to understand and minimize or eliminate conditions that can cause damage. The second step is to follow basic guidelines for care, handling and cleaning. Types of Damage For most antique furniture owners, the desire to both utilize their collections and at the same time preserve them presents a formidable challenge. These two objectives are often at odds with each other. Improper handling/usage/display, environment, cleaning, and repair are the most common causes of damage to furniture and wooden objects. The primary cause of damage to furniture is careless handling and use, resulting in damage to surfaces or structural damage to the object. Inappropriate environment, both in terms of light and relative humidity, can lead to damage. Excessive light can accelerate the aging and degradation of finishes resulting in a cracked, brittle or "alligatored" appearance; it can also cause fading or softening of the finish. Since wood is a porous material it readily absorbs water when humidity levels are high. This absorption of moisture causes wood to swell. Conversely, wood shrinks in a dry environment. The shrinkage of wood in dry environments leads to the formation of structural cracks, lifting veneer and inlays, gaps in joints and the embrittlement of adhesives.

  • Small Scale Teak Plantations in Luang Prabang Province, Lao
    Small scale teak plantations in Luang Prabang province, Lao PDR - Silviculture, ownership and market ii Foreword This minor field study (MFS) was carried out as part of the requirements and corresponds to 10 credits on C level. The Department of Silviculture at the Swedish University of Agriculture Sciences has planned the study in co-operation with the National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute (NAFRI) in Lao PDR with the objective to describe the silviculture practise in teak plantations established by small-scale farmers. Besides bio- physical aspects, tenure and market prospects both for plantations as well as for the wood have been discussed. Acknowledgement This study was funded by Sida (Swedish International Development Agency) as an MFS (Minor Field study). The MFS was hosted by the Lao-Swedish Upland Agriculture and Forestry Research Programme (LSUAFRP) which is a programme financed by Sida and run by the National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute of Lao PDR (NAFRI) and Scandia consult Natura (SCC). The MFS took in place in Lao PDR in August and September 2003 and was written in Sweden later that year. We, Niklas Fogdestam and Helena Gålnander, would like to thank the following persons for their support and assistance during the time we have been working with this project: Mr Houmchitsavath, our guide and interpreter during the field days in Pone Xay district. Mr Olle Forshed, our mentor in professional as well as social life in Lao PDR. Mr Robert Nygård, our manager and supporter in Sweden who encouraged us to study our data more thoroughly than we thought possible.
