1 reDWooD ( scandinavian ??) InternatIonal TIMBER JOINERY TIMBER reDWooD aND WhITEWOODI nternational TIMBER procures the best material available from these regions to suit specific customer requirements. this is achieved through a series of strategic partnerships with leading sawmill groups and specialist producers for onward distribution and further processing by our own network of major factor which affects the quality of the wood is the rate of growth, and the area from where it is grown. Further north within the northern Hemisphere will normally dictate a slower grown, better quality of TIMBER . european reDWooD (Pinus silvestris) offers excellent properties which lend itself to a wide range of uses, particularly in JOINERY and furniture manufacture, and all kinds of constructional work.

2 The pale reddish-brown resinous heartwood is usually distinct from the paler sapwood, unless treated with a preservative the TIMBER is classed as slightly to moderately Whitewood (Picea abies) a similar TIMBER in terms of strength and working properties but with a finer texture, again used in JOINERY and construction and extensively in furniture manufacture. the lower grades are used in the packing and construction sector. again unless treated with preservative the TIMBER is classed as slightly to moderately TIMBER can offer a wide range of sizes and quality in reDWooD and whitewood for every come from coniferous trees which are evergreen, needle-leaved, cone-bearing trees, such as cedar, fir and distinction between hardwood and softwood actually has to do with plant reproduction.

3 All trees reproduce by producing seeds, but the seed structure varies. Hardwood trees are angiosperms, plants that produce seeds with some sort of covering. this might be a fruit, such as an apple, or a hard shell, such as an Softwoods, are gymnosperms. these plants let seeds fall to the ground as is, with no covering. Pine trees, which grow seeds in hard cones, fall into this category. In conifers like pines, these seeds are released into the wind once they mature. this spreads the plant s seed over a wider and Whitewood JOINERY TIMBER supplied by InternatIonal TIMBER is kiln dried prior to its arrival in the UK.

4 There are many advantages to using Kiln Dried TIMBER , it becomes stronger, can be machined easier, it becomes more stable and can minimise future warping and twist; it also becomes less prone to insect attack and becomes easier to treat with preservative. europe offers a rich source of supply for the UK market particularly in redwoods and Whitewoods. InternatIonal TIMBER s demand in softwoods is sourced throughout europe and russia with a large majority coming from the scandinavian colour and texture should be judged from the actual materialTrafford Park SoFtWooD & Panel: 0161 848 2900 Precise colour and texture should be judged from the actual materialemail - softwoods supplied by InternatIonal TIMBER are graded.

5 These grades are determined by a complex set of grading rules, with each grade determined by the occurrence of defects, and also the general appearance of the piece. the main commercial grades you will find in this section are: Unsorted Grades (Grades 1-4)Sawfalling Excluding Sixths (Grades1-5)Fifths GradeSixths Within the Unsorted Grade greater notice is taken of the defects to the better face and the fact that edge defects are more decisive in determining the grade than face defects. When the defect occurs close together on a piece, the knot content in particular is taken into are classified as follows and split into two main in Quality1) Structure this will look at knots, pitch pockets, bark pockets, compression wood, pitch wood, interlocking grain, cross grain, water streak, scars, rot, insect ) manufacture these can arise during the course of conversion and comprise wane, wrong measure, and any other manufacturing )

6 Shakes, Checks, Splits these are of three different kinds- heart shakes, ring shakes, and seasoning checks and splits that occur during the drying of sawn TIMBER . Checks and splits are measured by length and depth with particular regard for their ) Deformities Include twist, cupping, bowing and in Condition1) moisture Where the moisture content of the TIMBER is not as stipulated in the contract and the TIMBER cannot be considered properly ) blue a discolouration penetrating the sapwood caused by are two types; log blue present in the log before sawing, yard and kiln blue occur after ) other discolouration Surface colour changes can take place during drying and is often important when specifying TIMBER .

7 The sapwood of most timbers is considered perishable and therefore assessments of the natural durability of any species is based on its heartwood. the basic clarifications of durability are as follows:not durable less than 5 years when in contact with the durable 5-10 years when in contact with the durable 10-15 years when in contact with the 15-25 years when in the contact with the durable more than 25 years when in contact with the ground.(the tests refer to all heartwood stakes of 50mm x 50mm section driven into the ground as stakes).We have many requests from customers who require very specific and exacting requirements.
