Rice Interviewed in Press Herald Article on Wood Recovered from Quakish Lake

Robert Rice, wood science professor at the University of Maine, was interviewed by the Portland Press Herald for an article about Maine Heritage Timber Co. retrieving logs from 1,000-acre Quakish Lake in Millinocket to be used for flooring, wainscoting and furniture. Rice spoke about the wood’s quality, adding that cold water and lack of oxygen eliminates the organisms that would normally decay wet wood.
