s unstable material stressing you out? Serenity and more time for golf can be yours when you switch to Bridiata Pine mouldings and millwork.

You may already be familiar with Bridiata Pine as the other white wood. Less well known is the time and care that goes into drying this New Zealand radiata pine. Bright Wood has been moulding product for 35 of our 4l years in wood remanufacturing. Thus, we know how critical drying can be in determining product performance.

When we invested in a New Zealand sawmill we also purchased three American-made dry kilns. Our kiwi experts spent months developing a drying schedule known as Dried Bright to produce stress-relieved wood suitable for North American customers. Our focus on stress means worry-free wood for you.

Listings are often submitted months in advance. Alwa-vs verify dates and locations with sponsor before making plans to attend.
