All I'm saying is that the company I work for operates a veneer plant. We tend to go after species like Larch, Fir, and Spruce for the most part. Pine is very far down the list. The only reason we log it is to try and control the Pine beetle population, which is a pretty massive problem right now, at least in B.C.
I hope you don't clearcut the fir. I understand that it this can be very problematic as it requires shade to regenerate. Selective logging seems to be the much better alternative with fir.
