Excerpt from Engelmann Spruce: Its Properties, Uses, and ProductionThe bug epidemic in Engelmann spruce has accelerated the marketing of this species. It is expected that from now on out, Engelmann spruce lumber will assume its place alongside such other western softwood species as Idaho white pine, white fir, western larch, and ponderosa pine in the western lumber economy. It is a most versatile species, being used for specialty items and house construction. 'because of its long fiber, it is particularly desirable as a groundwood pulp. It will also continue to supply the small knotted type of common board in competition with ponderosa pine and Idaho white pine. It is expected that as the more remote areas of Engelmann spruce are opened up for utilization the quality of lumber production will also include greater volumes of select grades. There are also no appreciable areas of young or rotation age Engelmann spruce in the region and it will probably be 50 years before production of this class of material is a significant factor on the lumber market.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
