Australian Organic Bamboo Industry - As global warming continues the need for a sustainable approach to fibre and fuel resources becomes critical. Cheap renewable sources of fibre are essential for our future and the demand for these natural resources is growing. Bamboo has a role to play in addressing these problems. It is a plant (c3 species) that can produce food, fuel and fibre from the same clump and is unique in its vigorous production of annually renewable biomass. It is also ideally suited to the tropics and sub-tropics of Australia.

Ravenshoe Timbers Pty Ltd - Ravenshoe Timbers produces two categories of product depending on the quality of the wood. Wood from the center of the tree is generally low in quality so it is mainly used as building materials. Wood from the outer sections of the tree is generally higher in quality so it is put into mouldings and architraves. All the timber is kiln dried which allows for further value adding, rather then just selling it as rough sawn. To make mouldings and architraves the dry timber must be docked and fingerjoined before going through a planer to get the finished profile.

Australian Forest Growers - If you grow trees commercially and mainly for wood production or you would like to, Australian Forest Growers can help you.
