   "We view it as a temporary layoff, but we need to get our sales back up to meet our production," Northern Hardwoods general manager Bill Check said.
   ...
   Check said he couldn't guarantee the fate of those employees.
   
   "There's a bunch of fine people in that salaried group, but I can't tell you how we're going to come back on a two-shift basis," he said.
   ...
   Check said home buyers are looking for species like cherry, walnut and hickory that do not grow abundantly, or do not grow at all, in the Upper Peninsula.
   ...
   But the biggest factor leading to the layoffs, Check said, is a general downturn in the housing market.
   
   "We've done a great job of adding many, many new customers in the last couple of years but the downturn in housing is fairly severe," he said.
