 There is still a market for the wood, but supplies are less abundant.Due to the length of growing time, the "Pinus taeda", also called the Loblolly pine, replaced it for commercial replanting, with a maturity of only 38 to 45 years.Industrial uses for fatwood include production of turpentine; when fatwood is cooked down in a fire kiln, the heavier resin product that results is pine tar.
