Lumber industry jargon can be a bit daunting to customers, especially with the expectation that they understand the lingo used just to make sure they’re buying the right product.

It’s Time To Winterize Your Home, Part 2
Getting your home ready for winter means more than changing out seasonal décor and rearranging your coat rack.

The Truth About Thin Exotic Lumber and the Global Market, Part 2
In Part 1, hopefully we helped you see the quandary that African sawmills face, as a result of the unique requirements of the North American market. Whether we’re talking about 4/4 boards or 5/4 or 10/4 boards, we can expect any sizes that are not salable outside of North America to come at a higher […]
The Truth About Thin Exotic Lumber and the Global Market, Part 1
The most common thickness we sell in exotic species is 4/4. As African species continue to gain popularity, a shortage of 4/4 thicknesses has resulted.
