'Making the Grade' 
This publication provides details of the range of quality available from our sawn hardwood timber and highlights the special features of UK-grown hardwoods often difficult to obtain from imports. The guide also gives information on timber measurement, the properties and uses of UK hardwoods, and an illustrated technical glossary. Its English launch was in the South East in March 2006, which recognised the importance of the hardwood resource in England's most wooded region.
