The results of this study implied that without species segregation, the combined hem-fir veneer can be successfully processed and graded for manufacturing structural LVL for building applications. Further studies are needed to investigate (1) the grade outturn of the typical combined hem-fir stand for LVL products and (2) the effect of separating the hem-fir veneer by species on manufacturing and performance of LVL products and determine if any potential benefits exist for this practice.
