Pacific Albus is a hardwood species ideal for a variety of uses including moulding & millwork, cut stock, furniture applications, edge-glued panels for door core and hobby panels, pallet stock, recreational vehicle parts, landscape timbers and much more. Because it is plantation grown, the quality of the product is consistent, uniform, and - importantly, always available. It is FSC 100% certified (SCS-COC-001855) under the principles and criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council.
