OUR PRODUCT
Just Wood Australia deals
solely in West Coast and Canadian Oregon. These species are not to
be confused with oregon originating from other countries. The
climatic conditions in which our oregon grows ensures that the
grain of the timber, which determines it's strength and durability,
is tight. Oregon grown is other conditions will exhibit a
coarser grain making it unsuitable in many
applications.
Considering that oregon is
our sole product, you can be guaranteed that we make every effort
to supply the best timber possible.
Pre-Cut
Oregon
Pre-cut material is
machined to a finish size and graded at the saw mill before being
shipped to Australia. Typically this will be found in timber
which has been "rougher headed" to finished sizes 147x47mm,
197x47mm and 247x47mm. Lengths start from 3.6m up
to 7.2m.
Cut-to-size
Flitch is a large end
section timber which is then cut-to-size to your specific
requirements. Oregon is readily available from us in
individual pieces up to 11.4m long and up to 400x200mm in size
(depending on stock we sometimes have 500x200). It is always
a surprise to people when they realise that such large sections and
lengths are readily available.
Cut-to-size oregon can be
finished as dressed all round, rough sawn non-appearance, rough
sawn appearance or fine sawn (clean sawn).
Dressed timber is dressed
by our Machinest for a planed finish.
Rough sawn non-appearance
is cut from flitch, focusing on grade rather than visual appearance
and as such often shows defects on the face but within the
specified grade. This finish is suitable for structural
non-appearance applications.
Rough sawn appearance is
cut from specially selected flitch to allow for an appearance
finish.
Fine sawn timber is clean
cut on all four faces This is the perfect cut for a visual
sawn look.
The grades produced are
F7, F8, F8 FOHC and F11 FOHC. These indicate the maximum
allowable defect in a piece to achieve a certain strength as stated
by Australian Standards 2858-2001 "Timber-Softwood-Visually graded
for structural purposes". The higher the number, the higher
the grade.
We also supply free of
heart centre material for all external applications. For more
information on this, see Applications.
Oregon is sold in 600mm
increments, starting at 1.8m up to 11.4 metres (e.g 2.4m, 3.0m,
3.6m etc).
Just Wood Australia also
manufactures fascia to order with various sized
grooves.
All of our timber is green
(unseasoned), which means that it has not been dried. You may
experience some shrinkage but if the appropriate grade has been
ordered any defects that may occur will be minimal and will not
effect the quality of the Oregon.
