Arkansas's timber industry-an assessment of timber product output and use, 2005
James W. Bentley, Michael Howell, and Tony G. Johnson.
Saw logs accounted for 52 percent of the State’s total roundwood products. Output of softwood saw logs was 289 million cubic feet (1.61 billion board feet, International ¼-inch rule), while that of hardwood saw logs was 100 million cubic feet (605 million board feet, International ¼-inch rule).
In 2005, 139 sawmills were canvassed for this bulletin. Total saw-log receipts increased 61 million cubic feet to 437 million cubic feet. Softwood receipts were up 17 percent to 334 million cubic feet, while hardwood receipts increased 13 percent to 102 million cubic feet. Of the 139 canvassed mills in 2005, 50 percent had receipts of < 5 million board feet, while 25 percent had receipts > 10 million board feet. Only 15 mills, or 11 percent, had receipts > 50 million board feet, but these mills accounted for 66 percent of the sawmill receipts.
