The French resource of large diameter Douglas-fir is currently still growing, while these large
diameter trees are complicated to process efficiently by the sawmilling industry. The rotary …

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and larch (Larix spp.) are two species that could contribute to
diversifying Ireland's timber supply. However, there is little knowledge about their properties …

The correct characterisation of wood properties is fundamental for the best utilisation of
resources. In Europe, grading is defined by strength classes that are determined based on …

The British forest industry is limited to a few species, and particularly reliant on Sitka spruce
(Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr). Recent outbreaks of pests and diseases, and uncertainties …

Wood is one of the oldest materials people have used since ancient times to meet their
