New Growth Wood with a Vertical Grain Aesthetic

We have partnered with Abodo to distribute their Vulcan Clear Vertical Grain (CVG) products. We chose to partner with Abodo because we believe their sustainable harvesting of new‑growth timbers, represents the future of the lumber industry. We are also quietly impressed by the rigorous testing Abodo has done to support the performance claims of each of their products—and we believe you will be too.

Thermally modified Pinus radiata

All of Abodo’s products are created using thermally modified Pinus radiata, also known as Radiata Pine or Monterey Pine. This is an fast‑growing, plantation softwood that is harvested from forests in New Zealand. Radiata Pine is exceptionally workable and highly permeable, making it an ideal choice for modification treatments such as thermal modification. This permeability also allows the species to accept finishes with ease. Radiata Pine is typically used for interior paneling, trim, and mouldings. Thermally modifying it now makes it an exceptional product for exterior applications like cladding and decking.
