"Beware of the man who discovers he can make more money selling cherry wood than he can selling cherries."
Pretty clear and exact description as to what happened to the wood products industry. Thanks to companies like Werhauser (sp?) who logged off millions of acres of prime timber and loaded the raw logs onto ships at Longview and Coos Bay and shipped it off to Asia. The hell with value adding and making them buy processed timber. They just strip mined the woods for short term profit on the best timber, then pulped the rest and now are selling off the remaining deforested land cheap. The American corporate way.
