Radiata Pine

( Continued from page I 1 ) pine is used as pulp for paper and panel products. Although not approved for structural use in the U.S., radiata pine lumber has well defined grades including machine rated stress standards in both Chile and New Tnaland. It is also well suited for panel products. Radiata pine compares well with ponderosa pine with good machining properties, including turning, boring, rroulding, planing and finishing, glues well, resists splitting and nails well. Excellent for millwork and moulding, it also can be peeled for veneer and compares to SPF in struchral grades. Because of its unique cell struc- ture, radiata pine is probably the most easily reated of all major softwoods. It can be used wherever the durability of treated wood is needed, including fencing, railroad ties and marine applications. News Briefs (Coruinuedfiompage 18)
