“We’ve been collaborating with Canadian Wood for many years, dating back to the inception of FII in India. We’ve utilized various formats, including solid wood, laminated wood, edge-glued wood, and finger-jointed wood, across different timber types like Western Hemlock, Spruce-Pine-Fir, Yellow Cedar, Douglas Fir, and Red Cedar for exterior applications. Each wood type demonstrates excellent workability, and we’ve gained a deep understanding of their unique attributes for various purposes. In our display at India Wood, the Hemlock stands out for its exceptional staining capabilities and workability.
