The story of B.C. Canada Wood species a leader in sustainable forest management.
WOOD, SO GOOD

In the lush forests of British Columbia, Canada a diverse range of wood species, thrives, each contributing its unique qualities to the region's reputation as a global hub for high-quality wood products. Among this diverse selection, five species stand out for their exceptional strength, durability and aesthetic appeal, playing pivotal roles in the construction, woodworking, interior and industries, shaping structures and designs with finesse.

WESTERN HEMLOCK

Standing tall along the coastal mountain ranges, Western Hemlock dominates the landscape of British Columbia, with an average height of 30 to 50 meters. Comprising 17.7% of the total volume, and a significant 60% of the coastal volume, its even density and excellent machining properties make it ideal for furniture, interior woodworking, doors, mouldings and more. Hemlock turns, planes and shapes well and can be sanded to a smooth finish. It is non-resinous and takes any stains or finishes extremely well. It sands smoothly, glues easily and has a high nail and screw holding ability. This versatile wood finds applications in general construction, roof decking, and plywood, with a notable presence in the Japanese market for glue-laminated beams
