“…The number of mills that participated in the study from the surrounding states was The amount of roundwood consumed by the surrounding states in 1994 was assumed to be the same for 1999. The volume of roundwood exported to surrounding states constituted 14% (115.1 million board feet) of the consumption volume in 1994 (Widmann, 1998). The state of West Virginia imported 29.2 million board feet of roundwood in 1994 (Widmann, 1998).…”

“…The state of Ohio imported 62.5 million board feet from West Virginia and exported 165 thousand board feet of roundwood (Widmann, 1998). Ohio made up 63% of volume of roundwood exported out of West Virginia (Widmann, 1998). Pennsylvania imported 15.8 million board feet from West Virginia and exported 3.2 million board feet to West Virginia in 1994; Maryland reported receiving 1 million board feet and exported 6.7 million board feet to West Virginia in 1994 (Widmann 1998).…”

Use of wood composite products has increased over the last decade in the market for construction material. Softwood species and soft hardwood species are the preferred forest resources for manufacturing these products. Reduction in available softwood forest resources from the Western states has forced a shift to use of more soft hardwood species in the Northeast. What impact this shift may have on the forest resources in the Northeast is not known. The objective of this study was to canvass primary wood manufacturers in and around the forest of West Virginia and determine how roundwood consumption has changed since the shift occurred. Survey data is used to analyze the effect of new wood composite mills in West Virginia. Survey results show that sawlog products (61 million cubic feet) and wood composite products (43 million cubic feet) were the two leading products consuming roundwood in 1999. analyzing the data from the survey, and writing the thesis as well. Also, gratitude towards Dr. Stanley Wearden-statistician, Dr. Richard Widmann-US Forest Service forester, and Edward Murriner-WV State forester for their much needed contributions; and the faculty and staff in WVU Division of Forestry, especially Mike Henderson and Shawn Grushecky for their computer help and the secretaries-Lorretta, Amy, Donna, Francis, Charlene, and Daisy. I would also like to thank my family: lovely wife-Suzanne, 6-year old daughter-Faith, and newborn son Emanuel for their patience with me, while I spent long periods of time writing the thesis into the early morning hours and not having my full attention. Also, I acknowledge my father-Cleveland, mother-Glenda, brothers-Lawanna-Warren-Darnell-Byron, my sister-Clevette for their inspiration along the way, and my in-laws Lu and Lana Sammons for their support. Correspondingly, my gratitude goes out to my brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ for their continual prayer and encouraging me to finish. And last but by far not the least, I thank my best friend in this world and the world to come, Jesus Christ, who has changed my life and gave me the strength and vision to finish when my family, friends, and teachers were not able to help me. He has proven to be my savior for eternity and for the hurdles I encounter in this life. iv
