  • Environmental Considerations of Treated Wood National Park Service – Pacific West Region

    Environmental Considerations of Treated Wood National Park Service – Pacific West Region

    Environmental Considerations of Treated Wood National Park Service – Pacific West Region Overview In support of the mission of the National Park Service, making wise decisions about using wood treatments will help protect the natural areas and biodiversity of our parks, and the health of our employees. Preservative-treated wood’s most important benefit is its resistance to water, fungal, and insect damage. Extending the life of wood products reduces the demands on forests for replacement lumber and reduces maintenance and replacement costs. Historic wooden structures that must be repaired with compatible materials or replaced with in-kind materials make durability even more important. Treated woods are nearly impervious to rot and insects, making them good for outdoor use. Wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) poses certain environmental and health risks, including the leaching of chemicals such as arsenic and chromium into the environment and workers’ risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals. Disposal of treated wood also proves to be an issue, particularly disposal by incineration. Due to these concerns, manufacturers of treated wood and the EPA reached an agreement to end the sale of CCA-treated wood for most lumber products, effective January 1, 2004. The following offers less-toxic alternatives to CCA, handling and use precautions, and other recommendations when considering using treated wood. Due to the toxicity and potential effects on health and the environment, the Presidio Trust implemented a policy on the use of pressure treated lumber. Standard operating procedure now prohibits the use of CCA, ACZA, CZC, ACC, and Pentachlorophenol. All dimensional lumber is now treated with ACQ as an alternative.

  • A Timber-Framed Building at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh

    A Timber-Framed Building at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh

    Anne Crone and Diana Sproat Revealing the History Behind the Facade: A Timber-framed Building at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh The property at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh, is a rare survival of a ‘timber land’, the timber-framed buildings that were once commonplace along the city’s Royal Mile and elsewhere in Scotland in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Two painted panels survive as components of the timber frontage, providing insights into the nature and function of the galleries that projected from these buildings. The building also retains fragments of two richly decorated board-and-beam ceilings, the beams of which have been successfully dated by dendrochronology. One possible interpretation of the dendrochronological results is that multi-storied tenements such as No. 302 may not have been conceived as such but were built upwards in stages, the platform-framing of the box-like construction allowing for storey-by-storey development. Background Between 2006 and 2008, AOC Archaeology Group undertook a detailed survey of Nos. 302–304 Lawnmarket, two Category A listed tenement buildings located within the Old Town of Edinburgh. The work was undertaken as part of a planning condition for the redevelopment of a large plot located at the junction between George IV Bridge and the Lawnmarket, now the Missoni Hotel. The buildings have now been incorporated into this development, with shops on the ground floor and hotel accommodation on the upper levels (Figure 1). As with many of the medieval tenements along the Royal Mile, the buildings have, throughout their history, provided commercial premises on their ground floors and basements, and accommodation in the upper floors.

    We are Wonderwall Studios. This is our story. UPCYCLE HONESTY CRAFTMANSHIP Wonderwall Studios is a creative studio that designs and produces wooden panelling for walls and surfaces. We use exclusively salvaged wood and employ local professional craftsmen. You could say we craft locally and rock globally. FUTURE EXPLORE DEVOTED OUR PHILOSOPHY At Wonderwall Studios we believe strongly in taking proper care of the communities we work in and the people we work with. The local craftsmen we work with are professional carpenters and tradesmen. We pay an honest wage for an honest days work. And we treat everyone as we would our own family and friends. The woods we use are therefore exclusively salvaged from abandoned houses, derelict sheds, rail road-sleepers, naturally fallen trees and old floors. Anything goes really, as long as it’s reclaimed. We are all about joyous materials and sustainability through reclamation. OUR PRODUCTION AND DESIGN PROCESS We keep everything we do in-house: From the reclamation of the wood to the design, marketing and selling of the collection. Of course we do everything we do with great care. But it’s our design process that we are particularly fond and proud of. During our searches for suitable wood, we always keep our eyes open for any new trends and styles. Fully inspired we head back home or to the workshop and let the creative juices flow. We sketch, doodle, draw and throw stuff at the wall and we discuss our design ideas with the woodworkers. They’ll tell us which wood type will work best for each design.
