[QUOTE=Palmetto Bug;2671862]What has caused the relatively recent trend of stuffing raw logs into shipping containers to ship overseas? Is there some special tax treatment for raw wood compared to finished lumber products? It just seems inefficient to me. A lot more wood will fit in a box if it is in squared shapes.

Sawmills in the US don't cut metric lumber and its way cheaper for the Chinese to use their cheap labor and low regulatory environment to saw lumber.
I was told by a Chinese log buyer that a sawmill in china is just 100 small bandsaw mills with three men working each saw.
