The hardwood industry in California is not well documented and often is described as fragmented. An analysis of hardwood interests in the state reveals a wide gap between hardwood consumption and the supply of native hardwood lumber. A recent survey of individuals, companies, and agencies involved in hardwood utilization provides the data for profiling the hardwood industry. A questionnaire mailed to these contacts uncovered 22 hardwood mills in the state that produced an estimated 11 million board feet of hardwood lumber in 1995, and 38 suppliers that offer native hardwood lumber. A telephone survey of furniture manufacturers in California identified 860 companies that utilize hardwoods. The information obtained from this survey provides a comprehensive profile of the hardwood industry in California. The hardwood industry can be broken into three major segments: producers, suppliers, and secondary manufacturers. The producers, or primary manufacturers, are the sawmills that manufacture lumber. The suppliers are the wholesale/retail companies that supply lumber to the secondary manufacturers which make the finished goods. The major goods manufactured from hardwood lumber include: furniture, cabinets, and flooring. Previous studies by other researchers have identified a large secondary manufacturing industry in California; one recent survey reported 860 companies (Cohen and Goudie 1995). The project reported in this paper was undertaken to determine the size of the hardwood producer and supplier community and to identify the secondary manufacturers that use hardwoods. Information was gathered by a variety of methods including mailed questionnaires and telephone contacts which resulted in a directory of enterprises involved in the hardwood industry in California (Lubin and Shelly 1995).
