In December Fellows took a 4-day road trip through southern and central Oregon to explore several wood products mills. The first stop was Roseburg Forest Products, where we visited their Roseburg stud mill and engineered wood products mill. A trip to the Hinkle Creek Watershed study area completed the introduction to this vertically integrated wood products company. The second company visited was Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors, where Fellows first viewed their Bend ponderosa pine millwork facility. After the raw material is sawn, much is manufactured at the adjacent factory into high-end windows and doors.
