The“ heart centers” of hardwood logs are an exception to the efficient use of this resource. Because this wood has defects that limit its usefulness for traditional dry lumber products, this portion of the log is routinely sold green( un-dried) as“ cants” used to manufacture shipping pallets – an extremely low-grade use for such an otherwise highly desirable resource.
