Redupod highliglrts urrood building

A N OUTSTANDING example

Fl of redwood usage in an allwood building can be seen in the headquarters building of Continental Forest Products.

Completed several years ago in the small Oregon town of Lake Oswego, near Portland, it has clear heart vertical grain redwood used exclusively on the exterior. The board and batt pattern was conceived by lumberman Al Disdero and is also used on the Forestry Center in Portland, although cedar was the material used in that application.

The boards are I x l2 tongue and groove and the batts are 2 x 4 with bevelled edges. The batts are bandsawn on the face and then each edge is ripped with a quarter inch bevel.

Continental Forest Products used two coats of natural Cuprinol to protect the surface of the building. The result is a smooth, consistent finish that closely resembles a painted surface.

Total square footage of the building is 5,300.

I wish I had head of Ualley Wood Preseruing before ftis damn rain started!

Hardwood Flooring School

The new Hardwood Flooring Installation School, sponsored by the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association and the American Parquet Association begins this month.

Instruction includes demonstrations, slide-illustrated lectures and student practice. Following an introduction to types and styles of wood floors, the course covers proper construction of wood and concrete subfloors, installation techniques, and sanding and finishing operations.

The school is open to all members of the flooring trade. Applicants must be sponsored by a producing member of NOFMA or APA. A brochure describing the school and application forms are available from headquarters of the two associations, members of the associations, and their distributors, dealers and agents.
