ast time the Men in Bright warned you about the dangers of buying tutti-frutti pine - that unsavory mishmash of pine species in one shipment. Now it is the MiB's duty to protect you and your customers from the perils of tiger wood.

Lurking in that benign order for radiata pine mouldings may be a startling color and density variation known as tiger wood. Most radiatas mature in warm climates with a year-round growing season which encourages wide, hard, and dark winter growth rings - leaving you seeing stripes when contrasted with softer, lightel and brighter summer rings.

The MiB transform the tiger into a pussycat with our new line of Bridiata Pinen, mouldings. Bridiata Pine comes from radiata grown in a special region of southern New Zealand where the winters are too cold to allow much groMh. Smaller winter rings combined with brighter summer rings give Bridiata a creamy white appearance and soft texture similar to ponderosa pine.

The MiB ensure Bridiata performs perfectly by cutting and drying it ourselves at our New Zealand sawmill using Dried Bright'" technology. Our experts in New Zealand and Oregon then craft the Bridiata Pine into beautiful nrouldinqs and millwork.
