What we saw was cut longer than I generally see for pulp, and the diameter of the logs would definitely produce good boards. They were being stacked "long ways" on the hauling truck, whereas pulpwood is stacked crossways. I believe they were in the 10-12 foot range -- pretty sure they were for lumber, not pulp. There was some beautiful wood coming from this area. This stack was one of 5 we saw (similar size), and they were still cutting. We don't see much pine cutting, except for thinning. I love watching the cutting. Those big machines are awesome.
On a related topic, there's a pressure treating facility (wood preservative) not too far away from here. There are some very impressive stacks of treated wood of all kinds in their yard.
