Western hardwoods are generating interest

Article Abstract:

Furniture makers and other users of wood are reacting to the high price of lumber by looking for relatively unusual species, such as radiata pine. Some West Coast alders and maples are suitable for woodworking, although not hard enough for floors. Trees of California and Oregon may require special handling.
