No, because mehogany timbers are most soft than other timbers used for housing meterials. If this is using for interior decoration then its OK but not suitable for furniture.
The term "bastard mahogany" is sometimes used to refer to timbers that resemble mahogany but are not genuine mahogany species. It may also refer to the lower-quality or less-desirable mahogany variants. Buyers should be cautious and ensure they are getting genuine mahogany if that is what they desire.
I've not heard of any NZ timbers that are not food safe.
Manufactured boards, such as plywood, MDF, and particleboard, are often used instead of natural timbers due to their consistent quality and uniformity, which minimizes defects and variations. They are typically more cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as they can be made from recycled materials and utilize fast-growing wood species. Additionally, manufactured boards can be engineered for specific properties, such as moisture resistance or strength, making them suitable for various applications where natural timbers may not be ideal.
Traditionally, dragon boats were made from wood, typically using sturdy timbers like teak or mahogany for their durability and strength. These boats are characterized by their long, narrow hulls and decorative dragon heads and tails. In modern times, many dragon boats are constructed from lightweight materials such as fiberglass or carbon fiber to enhance speed and maneuverability. Regardless of the materials, the design remains focused on facilitating teamwork and racing efficiency.
Structural timbers are those timbers used in the construction of a building that are "load bearing". They are the timbers placed under stress by and that support the weight of the building.
PLantation timbers are timbers from planted forests, that is humand planted them Old growth forests are the natural ones.
Nash Timbers was created in 2003.
Portland Timbers was created in 2009.
I'm assuming by 20' circle you mean 20' diameter. And I'm assuming only one layer of timbers. 3.14 x 20 = 63 feet of timbers needed / 8 foot long timbers = 8 timbers, for a 20' radius circle, double the number of timbers, and for each row of timbers increase the number of timbers accordingly. The closer to circular you want you'll need to cut the timbers shorter. 8 timbers will make an octagon (like a stop sign)
There are several characteristics of a Tudor style house. One such feature is half-timbering. This type of construction means the wood framing is exposed and the spacing in between the timbers are filled with materials such as stone or brick. Other characteristics of a Tudor style home can include large chimneys, a pitched roof, and tall narrow windows. This style of housing often reflects how housing was built in Medieval times.
nothing :D
Native timbers are simply timbers that are found locally. Native timber can also be 'second growth' timber, which means that it is sustainable.
