By maximising the amount of material we use from a single log, we’re able to reduce waste, which has the knock-on effect of keeping costs lower (by not having to pass on the wastage costs) as well as needing to process less fresh timber, which is better for the #environment

#didyouknow that not every slab we process can be cut into boards?

Depending on the length and shape of the log, and the required length of a board for an order, we get these slabs as offcuts

[The Launceston Timber Co @TheLTCltd]

Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with them, which means we’re able to repurpose them as material for our #cedar #roofingshingles

It would be entirely possible to make these cuts with other methods such as a dado blade, or even hand tools, but as you can imagine a machine like this can save hours across a build.

Oh! I completely forgot to mention! 🤦‍♂️

And it isn't exactly a huge leap from fauna to flora, so seeing this data down on paper is hugely reassuring

Just came across this study published back in April, showing undisputable evidence on how @FSC_IC positively impacts local ecosystems. Well worth a read!

Sustainable forestry is, and has always been at the heart of what we do.

Simply, even if we put the environmental perspective aside, as a business we wouldn't be able to function in the long-term without sustainable forestry practices.

Cheeky follow up on these, and look how good they look!
