EGGER has broken ground at its $700 million Davidson County facility
Austria-based EGGER, a wood-based materials suppliers for the furniture, construction and flooring industry, has broken ground at its $700 million Davidson County facility - where the company will potentially create 770 jobs over 15 years. The company announced Monday that phase-one construction has begun on the 4.5 million-square-foot Lexington facility, which will be located in the I-85 Corporate Center. The facility is expected to open in 2020. EGGER broke ground earlier this year on its corporate office building in Lexington.

Sawlog prices fell on all continents except North America in the 2Q of 2018
Sawlog prices fell on all continents except North America in the 2Q of 2018, resulting in the first decline of the GSPI sawlog price index since early 2016, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly. Lower sawlog prices in Russia, Brazil and Eastern Europe in the 2Q/18 contributed in a one percent decline in the Global Sawlog Price Index (GSPI) from the previous quarter, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly. In contrast, Western North America and the Baltic States have seen sawlog prices go up the most worldwide the past year. In the Western US, sawlogs prices rose sharply during 2017 and early 2018 but came to a halt in late spring when prices slightly declined. With limited interruptions in harvesting operations and...

Canada will continue to be a major supplier of softwood lumber to the US in the next decade
The softwood sawmilling sector in Eastern Canada will play an increasingly important role as a key supplier to the growing US lumber market in the future, according to a new study. The increasing lumber consumption in the US will also likely result in increased investments in production capacity in the US, changes in Canadian lumber trade flows, a rise in overseas supply, and upward pressure on sawlog prices. Consumption of softwood lumber in the US is forecasted to increase over the next decade and reach an all-time high by 2030. Canada is poised to continue being a dominant supplier of softwood lumber to the US, but there will be changes in log availability. The timber harvests on public lands in British Columbia are set to decline over the next decade and uncertainty surrounds log availability in the eastern provinces.

Vancouver Invitation on Forest Products for a Better Future
Government officials and representatives from the wood products and construction sectors and civil society have supported the "Vancouver Invitation on Forest Products for a Better Future". The Vancouver Invitation is a statement of intent that aims to create a larger community of stakeholders in support of sustainable forest management (SFM), maintaining forests and creating sustainable forest value chains for achieving the SDGs. Canada developed the Invitation (ECE/TIM/2018/3) with input and support from the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) countries. Governments, industry representatives and civil society then endorsed the Invitation at the 76th Session of the UNECE Committee on Forests and the Forest Industry (COFFI), which convened in Vancouver, Canada, from 5-9 November.

The British government wants to minimise the costs to the timber industry of Brexit
The British government wants to minimise the costs to the timber industry of Brexit, which is planned for March 2019. This was stated by Environment Secretary David Rutley in his speech to Parliament on Wednesday in response to demands by Martin Whitfield, Chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group for the Timber Industry. Whitfield had called for timber products from the EU to continue to be imported into the UK after Brexit without customs controls. If customs controls are introduced, this would cause delays in imports and financial burdens for importing companies. In this case, the construction of dwellings could not be carried out to the extent announced by Prime Minister Theresa May, Whitfield said.

The Wood Stove Design Challenge
The Wood Stove Design Challenge, an international competition to showcase innovative and clean-burning wood stoves, will begin on Nov. 9 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The goal is to demonstrate how improved designs including sensors and computer controls can make wood stoves cleaner and more efficient. One portion of the competition will focus on how electricity can be produced from wood and pellet stoves and be paired with rooftop solar and other renewable technologies. The event is free and open to the public through Nov. 13. More than 10 million American households use wood stoves to heat their homes, but they are a significant source of ambient particulate matter (PM) emissions. The technology boom of the past few decades has largely missed the wood stove...

3D printable wood filament from furniture wood-waste
Scientists at the Michigan Technology University, Houghton have successfully made 3D printable wood filament from furniture wood-waste. The success was published in a research paper co-authored by the open-source champion Joshua Pearce. The paper explored the possibility of upcycling furniture waste into wood filament to reduce the environmental impacts of wood waste. The wood filament was made using only open-source software and hardware. According to the paper, the furniture industry in Michigan alone produces more than 150 tons of wood-waste a day. In a four-step process, the scientists demonstrated the possibility of making 3D printing wood filament with a combination of wood-waste and PLA plastic.

USA: Hurricane Michael damage will drive lumber prices higher
Estimates are that the storm damaged about 80 percent of the timber in the southern parts of these three states. Pole timber trees worth about USD 60 per ton before the storm are now worth under USD 3 per ton as pulp logs. Landowners do not carry insurance for these loses. "Southern pine forestry and processing are the biggest employers and largest agricultural product," Wengert said. "Loses to the economy will be significant in the coming months and years. Construction lumber should see rising prices because of shortage in timber supplies due to these losses, and because of increased demand for housing repair and rebuilding in the area, and tariffs on Canadian lumber. Canada has supplied about one-third of U.S. construction lumber in recent years."

Wood fiber costs for the world`s pulp industry fell for the first time in over a year
In the 2Q of 18, both of WRI`s global fiber price indices fell for the first time in five quarters, mainly because of the strengthening of the US dollar against currencies in all countries covered by the Wood Resource Quarterly. The 2Q of 18 Global Softwood Fiber Price Index (SFPI) decreased slightly from the 1Q of 18 but was still 7.8 per cent higher than in the same quarter in 2017. Quarter-over-Quarter, softwood fiber prices fell the most in Brazil, Russia, Sweden and New Zealand. Prices for pine pulplogs in Brazil have been stable in Brazilian Real terms over the past year, holding steady at record high levels following a three-year period of rising prices.

Oregon`s tall wood building industry moves forward despite setbacks
In a small rural town, a quiet plywood factory houses a groundbreaking innovation in construction. Here in the timber town of Lyons, population 1,204, 96-year-old veneer manufacturer Freres Lumber runs the first mass-plywood operation in the world. At the heart of the $35 million plant stands a graceful 22-foot arch, a test piece of the material`s strength and flexibility. It`s made of one-eighth-inch panels stacked three or four thick at right angles, glued by a hydraulic press and cut out by a giant robotic saw. The ultra-strong panels earned a certification in August to bear the weight of buildings.
