Red Oak is one of the dominant species in the Northeastern US, the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains. We harvest logs in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Additional logs are purchased the New England States, PA, NJ, and VA.
White Oak is one of the top three species at CTI. We produce slicer veneer logs in several different sorts as well as 3-face logs. However, our speciality is rift logs with light color. In some areas in the US White Oak is also called Stave Oak.
Our primary selection is for color and gum content. The second criteria is size. We separate veneer logs in 4 clear face and 3 clear face. The procurement area is NY, PA and VA.
We have three basic separations by color and additional grades by size or quality. Yellow Poplar is also called Tulipwood, American Whitewood or Tulip Tree.
CTI purchases these logs in Missouri, Iowa and other States in the Midwest and separates the grades in 4 clear face and 3 clear face veneer logs. Further separations are made in different diameter classes.
There are two basic separations in this specie, one is called Natural, where we have no restrictions of the heart the other is called White where we limit the heart to customer specification.
