I'd like to point out that wood 100 years ago was mostly old growth, which differs drastically to the lumber available today.

- theluketaylor 3y agoModern mass timber more than corrects that problem. It does a fantastic job using fast growing, new growth lumber to produce highly precise parts that are factory produced exactly to spec to nearly eliminate waste.
- 8note 3y agoHighly precise lumber parts sounds like an oxymoron. The standard assumption for wood is that it's only straight while it's being cut. If they've invented fix for that, it's not gonna be the wood that they're using that does it, but some extra processing to make like a particle board or something
- theluketaylor 3y agoModern mass timber has advanced a long way beyond cheap particle board. Read up on cross laminated timber. Manufactured and cut exactly to size and often requires no cutting on site.
