"...It is a valuable commercial timber species for lumber, pulp, and many special uses..."

PULP! Say it ain't so... People are wiping their butts with Sitka Spruce? Please tell me that's a missprint. PULP! Horrors...

I have a friend that was a "scout" for a logging company in Alaska. Most of their Sitka Spruce went to Japan for construction lumber. The company made more money selling it there than they could bringing it down to the lower 48 as a specialty wood.

Art, I stopped wiping with it a couple years ago. The splinters were REALLY starting to bother me.

There's the best and the worst of capitalism. This is in the worst catagory.

A friend was a tree planter for a summer a few years back, and he said it was amazing how many trees were left to rot after a clear cut. Entire red cedars, spruces, firs anything not on whatever list they had was just left behind. All of it old growth and perfectly usable.

Well... I guess we need toilet paper and cheap 2x4s from Home Depot, but you'd think in a perfect world, all those clearcuts would be "pridied" up with the long clear stuff going where it ought to, the limbs and stumps going to the pulp mills and the inferior grades showing up on the next "How to build an addition to your house" episode on the "Learning Channel". Leaving the "odd" species behind to rot because it ain't on somebody's invoice? Doesn't seem like good business sense to me, much less good "stewardship". Guess that's why nobody's asked me to run their lumber operation... At least the old time whalers knew how to use ALL of the whale. (Sigh....)
