There are people at who have spent their entire careers learning to read a board. We spent 72 hours learning from them. Follow along for more.

If you care about using more of every tree, you have to understand how hardwood is graded during manufacturing.

For 72 hours in Memphis, we learned from National Hardwood Lumber Association, the organization that sets the rules for hardwood in North America.

We studied what determines grade.

How structure drives value.

How yield is estimated before a tree is even cut.

And how urban logs are processed into lumber.

Back to the fundamentals.💪

We’re proud to welcome Intectural into the Cambium family!

Based in Duluth, Intectural USA has spent almost two decades connecting architects and builders with sustainable, U.S.-made materials like Richlite and Arbor Wood Co..

Together, we’re linking that distribution expertise with Cambium’s digital platform, tying U.S.-sourced wood into modern supply chains that are faster, more transparent, and built to last.

This partnership is another step toward a stronger, more resilient wood industry.

We might be biased... but we still did our homework.

Shou Sugi Ban is beautiful, traditional, and it turns heads.
But Carbon Smart™ Wood thermal oak?

♻️ Comes from salvaged local trees so it’s even more sustainable than other woods
🌡️ Thermally modified at the cellular level so it is more dimensionally stable
⏳ Lasts longer with less upkeep
🟫 Still offers a rich color and texture

We compared the two side-by-side so you can decide for yourself.

Most exterior wood options ask you to compromise.

Cedar warps. Pressure-treated leeches chemicals into the ground. Exotic Ipe is imported and unsustainable.

But there *is* a wood that is durable and sustainable, without the tradeoff of beauty: Carbon Smart Wood thermal oak.

We use heat and time to transform underutilized, salvaged species like red oak into high-performance, thermally modified wood. It’s water-resistant, chemical-free, and built to last 20 years or more.

Explore the process and why builders, architects, and designers are switching to Carbon Smart Wood thermal oak:

Thermal modification transforms salvaged wood into durable, chemical-free, high-performance material—perfect for exterior builds that demand more.

🏙️🌳 Urban forestry isn’t just about planting trees. It’s about long-term care, the infrastructure to support it, and the people who make it possible.

In the past year, we’ve been proud to support :

🌿 With the launch of the Park Heights nursery
👷🏽 By sponsoring 8 Neighborhood Foresters pursuing certifications
🌱 And through a volunteer planting day with our team

We’re grateful to play a small part in the work they’re leading across Baltimore.
