Abstract: During 1984, 187.3 million board feet (816,600 m?) of veneer logs were harvested from northeastern timberlands. In 1984, 30.5 more million board feet (133,000 m?) of veneer logs were harvested than in 1980 - the second consecutive 19-percent increase over the past two 4-year periods. Most of the veneer logs came from Maine, Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania. The Northeast's manufacturers of veneer received 153.8 million board feet (670,600 m?) of veneer logs during 1984, 33.3 million board feet, or 28 percent, more than that received in 1980. The veneer mills in the Northeast generated 14.2 million cubic feet of manufacturing residues in 1984 - nearly all of which was used for wood fiber, fuel, and agricultural uses.
