Uses for Hemlock and Tamarack in Wisconsin Lumber Trade
A Wisconsin paper notes new hemlock uses replacing more expensive woods for sulphite production at Nekoosa mills. It cites rail shipments of millions of feet from Merrill and along the Wisconsin River, with logs boiled in kettles to create sulphite for paper fibers. Tamarack remains lightly used, mainly as furniture wood, while Norway pine substitutes for many purposes. The piece highlights growing hemlock harvesting, shifting market roles, and the limited commercial Tamarack use.
