Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kentucky's Forest Resources and Industries The forests are made up chiefly of two types oak-hickory and mixed hardwoods. All other types account for 23 percent of the commercial forest area. They include the redcedar - har'dwoods, bot tom-land hardwoods, pine, oak - pine, white oak, and beech - maple. Harvest and Manufacture of Timber. - In 1948 more than 208 million cubic feet of wood was cut for primary wood products. Of this volume 77 per cent represented the cut of live sawtimber and pole timber. The remainder was saplings, upper stems and limbs, dead trees, and wood cut from nonforest areas such as fence rows and scattered trees. Of the wood cut, 46 percent was used for fuelwood, but less than half of this came from growing stock; 34 per cent was cut for sawlogs and all of this came from growing stock; 20 percent was cut for all other products, including mine timbers, fence posts, stave bolts, veneer logs, and miscellaneous farm timbers, and almost all of this came from growing stock.
