Description: An analytical report on the volume of wood used by the wood-turning industry in Maine, and the volume of timber from the state's timberlands that may be suitable for turnstock. Findings are based on the third forest resource survey of Maine timberlands, and an industry canvass of primary manufacturing mills using wood from Maine timberlands, both conducted in 1982. Presents the volume of turnstock consumed by Maine mills, the volume produced from Maine timberlands, the volume suitable to be harvested for turnstock, and changes over time.

Keywords: forest survey, wood-turning industry, turnstock, consumption, production, supply, counties
