Sites which have species information and technical data relating to timber and timber flooring:
Timber Development Association (NSW) Ltd
Radial Timber
Radially-sawn
timber
is
a
good
way
to
maximise
yields
from
logs
where
a
'wedge'
profile
of
cut
does
not
involve
downstream
waste
-
decking,
cladding
and
outdoor
structures.
It
is
a
good
method
of
sawmilling
for
small
diameter
log
-
from
which
many
mills
have
a
poor
recovery.
Private Forestry Southern Queensland
This
is
an
informative
website
that
supplies
the
relative
values
of
different
log
grades
at
stumpage.
Quite
different
to
wholesale
mill
or
chip
prices
for
processed
product.
These
are
forestry
people
who
have
a
real
commitment
to
the
sustainability
of
forests,
landcare
and
the supply of forest products into the future.
