Radial Timber Sales – Sustainable External Timber Products
Product/Service Name
Sustainable External Timber Products
The process of radial sawing was specifically designed to maximise the recovery of sawn timber from smaller logs. As such, radial sawing has a range of both environmental and technical benefits. These range from helping to make indigenous hardwood plantations more viable to maximising the yield of high value timber products from a log. This is a summary of the main environmental and technical benefits that stem from radial sawing.
More timber out of a log Fewer trees are required to produce a given volume of timber. Potential for lower fuel usage, greenhouse emissions as well as negative impact on soil, water and native wildlife. Reduced reliance on manufactured building products that may actually have greater negative environmental impacts. Better planning for future timber requirements.
