- nradov 2y agoThe illegal hardwood is not used for residential framing or sheathing. It has nothing to do with fire resistance or insurance.
- marcosdumay 2y agoMost illegal wood is not hardwood. What is not to say that most of the wood in the US is illegal. It's probably a small share. But some of your houses do pretty much chop forests down. (And your government does help fight that, but it's hard to completely stop it.)
