An analysis of pooled data reveals that a nonhomothetic transcendental logarithmic cost function provides an appropriate representation of the hardwood lumber manufacturing industry in southern Ontario. In this study, total cost was specified as a function of mill output; the input prices for wood, labour, and energy; and a measure of mill capacity. All own-price elasticities have the expected negative sign. All input pairs are found to be substitutes, with labour and energy displaying the strongest substitutability relationship. There are economies of scale that have yet to be exploited by sawmills producing less than 16 × 106 board ft (1 board ft = 2.360 dm3) of lumber annually. Scale economies are fully exhausted for mills with annual output greater than this value.

Local Fiber

The grading of wood veneers according to their true mechanical potential is an important issue in the peeling industry. Unlike in the sawmilling industry, this activity does not currently estimate the local properties of production. The potential of the tracheid effect, which enables local fiber orientation measurement, has been widely documented for sawn products. A measuring instrument exploiting this technology and implemented on a peeling line was developed, enabling us to obtain the fiber orientation locally which, together with global density, allowed us to model the local elastic properties of each veneer. A sorting method using this data was developed and is presented here. It was applied to 286 veneers from several logs of French Douglas fir, and was compared to a widely used sorting method based on veneer appearance defects. The effectiveness of both grading approaches was quantified according to mechanical criteria. This study shows that the sorting method used (based on local fiber orientation and average density) allows for better theorical quality discrimination according to the mechanical potential. This article is the first in a series, with the overall aim of enhancing the use of heterogeneous wood veneers in the manufacturing of maximized-performance LVL by veneer grading and optimized positioning as well as material mechanical property modelization.
