Dear Mr. Dukes:

      We have the reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.  Where indicated, we think you should revise your
document
in response to these comments.  If you disagree, we will consider
your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a
revision
is unnecessary.  Please be as detailed as necessary in your
explanation.  In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide
us
with supplemental information so we may better understand your
disclosure.  After reviewing this information, we may or may not
raise additional comments.

      Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects.  We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect
of our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed
at the end of this letter.

Form S-3/A filed June 28, 2005

Risk Factors, page 4
We have a significant amount of outstanding debt..., page 5

1. We note your response to prior comment three.  We also note the
statement on page six that "PW Eagle`s total current annual debt
service obligation is approximately $11,045,000."  Please revise
to
clarify whether this amount is provided on a consolidated or
unconsolidated basis.  If this amount is provided on an
unconsolidated basis, please revise to include the amount of
annual
debt service obligation for US Poly.

2. Revise this discussion to state whether PW Eagle and US Poly
were
in compliance with the required financial covenants as of March
31,
2005.

MD&A - Critical Accounting Policies, page 21

3. We note your response to prior comment 17.  Revise the risk
factor
related to your deferred tax asset in the current Form S-3 to
disclose the amount of taxable income you are required to earn to
fully realize your deferred tax asset and the time period over
which
you must earn it.

Note 2.  Acquisitions and Divestitures, page 32

4. We note your response to prior comment 20.  Revise future
filings
to more fully address the facts and circumstances that lead to the
change in your accounting for the investment in WL Plastics from
the
equity method to the cost method.  It appears to us that this is a
critical accounting policy and that additional disclosures are
necessary.  The additional disclosures should also address how you
assess this investment for impairment.

Form 8-K dated July 1, 2005

5. Demonstrate to us that the recently completed disposition is
not
significant and that pro forma financial statements are not
required
in the current Form S-3.  In addition, tell us the amount of any
gain
or loss you recognized as a result of this disposition.

Closing Comments

      As appropriate, please amend your registration statement in
response to these comments.  You may wish to provide us with
marked
copies of the amendment to expedite our review.  Please furnish a
cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our
comments and provides any requested supplemental information.
Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review.  Please
understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing
your
amendment and responses to our comments.

      We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require
for
an informed decision.  Since the company and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they
are
responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they
have made.


	Notwithstanding our comments, in the event the company
requests
acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration
statement, it should furnish a letter, at the time of such
request,
acknowledging that:

?	should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated
authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
?	the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy
and
accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
?	the company may not assert this action as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.

	In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance in connection with our review of
your
filing or in response to our comments on your filing.

      We will consider a written request for acceleration of the
effective date of the registration statement as a confirmation of
the
fact that those requesting acceleration are aware of their
respective
responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public
offering
of the securities specified in the above registration statement.
We
will act on the request and, pursuant to delegated authority,
grant
acceleration of the effective date.

      We direct your attention to Rules 460 and 461 regarding
requesting acceleration of a registration statement.  Please allow
adequate time after the filing of any amendment for further review
before submitting a request for acceleration.  Please provide this
request at least two business days in advance of the requested
effective date.
