Reconsidering Price Projections for Selected Grades of Douglas-Fir, Coast Hem-Fir, Inland Hem-Fir, and Ponderosa Pine Lumber

Grade-specific price projections were once again developed for Douglas-fir, coast hem-fir, inland hem-fir, and ponderosa pine lumber. These grade-specific price projections can be used to demonstrate the returns to land management of practices that lead to high-quality logs that produce a larger proportion of high grades of lumber. The price ratios among low, medium, and high grade groupings have been consistent, and interest in these "high-quality" forestry regimes has been persistent.
