Hardwood Product Directory

While hardwoods comprise a significant portion of California forest species, they remain less than one half of one percent of the annual value of the state’s timber industry shipments. A meager 7% of the state’s manufacturing needs for hardwood is met by California hardwood resources.

The 1999 California Hardwood Product Manufacturers Directory was created as part of the ongoing effort to encourage a viable hardwood industry in California. This directory contains useful information for those looking for products, suppliers, and markets. The directory is divided into six categories: landowners, loggers, primary manufacturing, secondary manufacturing, wholesale retail, and business services.

This resource was produced by the California Hardwood Industry Initiative, a consortium of state and federal agencies working to develop the hardwood industry. Participants include the California Trade and Commerce Agency, California Resources Agency, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, California Energy Commission, University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and USDA Forest Service.

The Hardwood Product Directory is expected to be updated yearly. Those who wish to be included in the directory are encouraged to submit their information to the UC Forest Products Lab at 1301 S 46th St, Blvd, 478 Richmond, CA 94804 (510) 215-4299.
