Just in time for holiday gift giving, lovers of wood and wood products will enjoy MeUndies, underwear made from Lenzing Modal, a material extracted from the European beech tree.
According to the Lenzing website, the material is CO2 neutral and made using Edelweiss technology, which is based on oxygen-based chemistry. More than half of the beech wood used by Lenzing is from Austrian forests.
Distributed by MeUndies, the beech-based undergarments are offered in both men's and women's styles. According to the company's website, "the low rigidity of the beechwood fibres allow for unparalleled, natural softness", while the cellulosic properties of the fibre "naturally inhibit odour-causing bacterial growth".

Jamax Forest Solutions has been nominated in the prestigious 2014 Telstra Australian Business Awards and is entered in the Micro Business category. Not sure who by but thank you. Mind you, after the 20-30 hours it took to complete the entry, if I ever find ...out, I might turn around and nominate their business next year. All jokes aside, the process does provide a good opportunity to navel gaze at your business, where it's heading and how to improve what you do. |

Recent studies, along with evidence emerging from Europe and Asia, suggest that the use of wood indoors lowers stress reactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. This is associated with lower blood pressure, lower heart-rate, lower psychological stress, lower susceptibility to illness, and a better ability to focus attention.
The reason for this effect is biophilia, the innate attraction of humans to life and life-like processes. Simply being in the built environment produces a low level of stress since urban living is relatively new on an evolutionary scale. |

Timber is a valuable and often overlooked asset on timbered properties. Whether buying or selling a timbered property, you need to know just what it is you are buying or selling and how much it is worth.

Now is the time to check if any of the trees on your property are capable of making it as a pole! With the Feds and NSW Governments pointing the finger at each other over increasing power bills, focus has moved squarely onto the need to replace a lot of the State's aging power poles. As a result of the expected spike in demand, pole producers, like Koppers, are chasing supplies of poles.
So, if want to log your property and you think you have enough trees capable of making a pole, contact Jamax. We can assess the viability of harvesting your property for poles, arrange and manage the operation and get you the best return for your logs! |
