Industrial woodworking machinery processing a structural timber component

Application Guides

Radiata pine can be supplied for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Product selection depends on the intended use, processing method, required dimensions, grade, moisture condition, treatment and destination.

Construction and Structural Use

Construction buyers may require clearly defined dimensions, structural grade, moisture condition, treatment and compliance documentation. Requirements should be confirmed against the applicable project or market specification.

Furniture, Doors and Joinery

Furniture and joinery applications may place greater emphasis on appearance, machining performance, moisture stability, surface condition and allowable defects. Finished-component requirements should be provided during the enquiry stage.

Pallets and Crating

Packaging applications require practical dimensions, consistent processing inputs and clearly defined load or handling requirements. Treatment, heat treatment, marking and destination requirements may also apply.

Sawmilling and Wood Processing

Sawmills and processors should define log diameter, length, grade, recovery objectives and processing method. Sawn-timber buyers should provide downstream manufacturing and finished-product requirements.
