Ripping lumber is when lumber dealers will “rip” – or split in two – a piece of lumber to yield two boards from one. That may be a money-saving option, but it is recommended not to use “ripped” lumber structurally. Learn more about this process and why it's not recommended 👉 https://ow.ly/x1vR50SY3fN #lumber #wood #southerpine #pine #forestproducts #rippinglumber #stability #construction

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines sustainable forest management as, “The stewardship and use of forests and forestlands in a way, and at a rate, that maintains their biodiversity, productivity, regeneration capacity, vitality, and their potential to fulfill, now and in the future, relevant ecological, economic, and social functions, at local, national, and global levels, and that does not cause damage to other ecosystems.” Learn more from the American Wood Council 👉 https://ow.ly/uB9550Qu84B #southernpine #wood #buildwithwood #lumber #forestproducts #sustainability #greenbuilding #carbon #sustainable #forestmanagement
