DEF

Any forest commodity made of wood and not intended for the high-volume conventional forest sector, thus excluding lumber, fibreboard, and pulp and paper.

CONT

Examples include carvings, canoes, snowshoes, bowls, utensils, toys, jewellery, decorative boxes, and musical instruments. Specialty wood products often enhance the value of residual wood from forest harvesting (for example, tree stumps, knotted trees, and blue-stained wood attacked by the mountain pine beetle) or of shrub and tree species with a unique wood grain pattern (for example, bird's eye maple).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Produits du bois
DEF

Tout produit en bois tiré de la forêt et non destiné au secteur forestier traditionnel de masse, ce qui exclut le bois de sciage, les panneaux de fibres ainsi que les pâtes et papiers.

CONT

Les sculptures, les canots, les raquettes, les bols, les ustensiles, les jouets, les bijoux, les boîtes décoratives et les instruments de musique en sont des exemples. Les produits du bois spécialisés permettent souvent de valoriser les résidus d'exploitation (par exemple, les souches, les arbres noueux et le bois bleui des arbres attaqués par le dendroctone du pin ponderosa) ou des espèces d'arbres et d'arbustes présentant une disposition unique du grain de leur bois (par exemple, l'érable piqué).
