Thanks to Mark and the others that made excellent suggestions as to alternatives for used wood disposal. I was remiss in not mentioning that right here in the Rogue Valley is a company called BiomassOne, that takes wood waste products and converts them to electricity via a steam generator. I guess my real point was that we could reduce our demand for raw timber products if we could reuse suitable lumber in construction, which of course is the primary end-product of the most of the logging that occurs here in the PNW.
