Lumber Recovery Rate of Cupressus lusitanica in Arsi Forest Enterprise, Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, sawmills have poor capacity utilization primarily due to the outdated equipment that resulted in a low recovery rate and production of high amount wastage. The lumber is output (lumber) log sawing process. Cupressus lusitanica significantly used for lumber, furniture production, construction, poles posts. Sampled logs were processed according normal standard dimension sawmill purpose estimating rate. present study aimed investigate C. factors affecting it. A total 26.93 m3 was produced by sawmilling operation, representing 72.86% overall Furthermore, sawdust slabs recorded as 2.92 (7.90%) 7.11 (19.24%) slabs, respectively. There number decreased magnitude It observed cutting using wider saw kerf caused reduction owing generation an increased quantity sawdust. lumbers air-seasoned yard. Maximizing volume recovered from can increase profitability, lessen effects climate change, ensure sustainable use natural resources, enhance energy efficiency manage wood waste (e.g., recycling prevention) green economic development industrial transformation. This species has great demand industry Ethiopia; hence, plantation yield must be expanded order provide forestry, protect valuable forest resources safeguard biodiversity country.
