Production of quality sawn timber from rubberwood logs: Some critical aspects - Wood News 1998 - 35-40
Value-oriented utilisation of rubberwood primarily lies in evolving and adopting cost effective sawmilling technologies. This can be achieved by: Improving the present sawmilling practices for higher volume and value recovery of sawn timber. Employing sawmilling machinery and equipment suitable for small diameter logs. Adopting appropriate log grading, grade sawing and sawn timber grading practices. This is essential for a species like rubberwood which is projected as a potential wood for several sophisticated end uses apart from its present major usage as a packing timber.
