WHY THIS WEBSITE?
Having acquired great experience and exposure in the timber and wood industry since 1992, I decided to create an online “melting pot” for the industry where anyone can come and search for useful relevant information.
You will get the latest industry news, upcoming events, product reviews. You will have an opportunity to post any timber industry related subject and ask any question using our Q & A tool.
Let me know if you have a product to share or review or you feel any topic is not properly represented on the website.
