In this special edition of F&T Time, we speak to FTMA Members, David & Mark Sly, Directors of Sly Bros who have been impacted by the recent flood disaster in South East Queensland and Northern NSW.

In the community of Woodburn alone, 95% of the residential and all businesses have been destroyed and they are not the only town in the area with sad statistics like this.

This catastrophic storm was not just a flood but a disaster for the entire Northern Rivers Region. 

In this episode we discuss what happened, what the real impact is and what must be done to ensure this flood doesn’t become a business, town and region ending event.

Eight employees of Sly Bros have lost everything as a result of the devastating floods. David and Mark have set up a GoFundMe for their eight employees. To donate to the Sly Bros employees directly, please use the link below.

Clive Martella, FTMA Board Member and Director of MB Prefab Framing in Geelong was down to earth, funny, straight up, hardworking and such an honest person.

Clive was an essential person within the FTMA Board.  Not only was he one of the people who worked hard to get the National Association going but he remained a Director throughout his time on the board.

To continue his legacy, FTMA Australia created the Clive Martella Service to Industry Award.

Today as we open the nominations for the 2022 Award, we are joined by a true pioneer in roof truss manufacturing, the 2019 Clive Martella Service to Industry recipient, Jim Cheney, and his granddaughter and FTMA Board member, Nikita Bourke.

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 44:
We are doing some Spring Cleaning - time to start now! No, we are not cleaning windows and wiping down kitchen cabinets.

We are talking about timber management, trail maintenance, hinge cutting, creating bedding areas, setting mock scrapes, trail camera maintenance, stand maintenance, and very importantly - bow maintenance.

This type of Spring Cleaning ain't for the yuppies.

With the invasion of Ukraine ongoing, Bertie talks to Sam Lawson, Director of investigative NGO Earthsight, following a public letter from 120 NGOs calling for a boycott on Russian and Belarusian wood.

The public letter was led by Ukrainian environmental groups in response to the invasion, but Earthsight have been investigating illegal and unsustainable Russian and Belarusian logging for years. Their work has exposed major failings of EU, UK, and US law, and particularly of certifiers like FSC, SBP and PEFC. 

NOTE: this is a faster-moving story than we normally cover in our podcasts. Since recording this conversation on Tuesday 8th March, SBP and FSC have both announced that they are longer certifying Russian wood.

This is a special edition of FTMA’s F&T Time where we discuss the impacts on timber imports as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Board of PEFC International have deemed all timber originating from Russia and Belarus as ‘conflict timber’. Whilst the FSC International Board of Directors have agreed to suspend all trading certificates in Russia and Belarus, as well as, block all controlled wood sourcing from the two countries. 

We are joined by a number of guests to help break down what this all means.

Guests include:

• Simon Dorries of Responsible Wood (National governing body of PEFC in Australia)
• Leon Quinn of Tilling Timber and
• Kurt Schrammel of VIDA Australia

Our guest for the second episode of 'F&T Time with Kersten Gentle' is Ross Hampton, CEO of AFPA (Australian Forest Products Association).

With the upcoming federal election and a couple of crucial state elections this year, we thought it was valuable for Ross to come along and talk about the all-important policies for our industry and outline how everyone within the industry can have a voice in the lead up to these elections.

The first episode of the new FTMA News podcast series, 'F&T Time with Kersten Gentle' features Tim Woods of IndustryEdge as the journey of the timber and housing markets throughout the pandemic is discussed.

Tim explains the importance of a healthy supply chain and talks about ways builders and fabricators can ride the wave and survive.

So put your kettles on! It is time for some F&T (Frame & Truss Talk)!

Alasdair talks to John Sterman about his groundbreaking research that proved burning wood for energy will "increase atmospheric CO2 for at least a century".

John Sterman is the Jay W. Forrester Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, the Director of the MIT System Dynamics Group and the Director of the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative. His team developed a model for dynamic bioenergy lifecycle analysis, which he hoped would prove burning "wood was part of the solution" for the climate. Instead, "it came out the other way".

Further reading:

·         Professor Sterman’s paper about the outcomes from his bioenergy modelling
·         More details on the study, in reply to a comment on the paper
·         En-Roads, MIT Sustainability Initiative’s interactive climate simulator that allows users to explore the impacts of different climate policies

Tom Raffield is a designer and maker who has built a hugely successful business by creating an array of products from wood that have been steam bent into extraordinary shapes, and, subsequently, are sold by the likes of John Lewis and Heals. In doing so, he has effectively brought craft on to the British high street.  

Not only that, but he has designed installations at the Chelsea Flower Show, created steam bent coffee kiosks in London’s Royal Parks, and built his own breathtaking house in south Cornwall, that included (inevitably) a steam bent timber facade and featured on Channel Four’s Grand Designs.

It’s safe to say that wood is a material that completely dominates Tom’s life.

In this episode we talk about: designing through making; the importance of trial and error in his practice; growing up in a garden centre and his fascination with sustainability; how his dyslexia enabled him to see the world differently; falling in love with Cornwall; and his determination to make craft (relatively) affordable. But most of all we chat about his obsession with wood in general – and steam bending in particular – and how the process has shaped his life and career. 

"In 2019, the use of United States sourced wood pellets in the UK was accountable for 16 million to 19 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, mostly burned by Drax. That is roughly equivalent to a quarter of all the emissions from the UK power sector."

Edward speaks to Duncan Brack, Associate Fellow at Chatham House and author of numerous reports into industrial-scale biomass  and forestry policy.

Weer een nieuwe voetbalpodcast Kick-off met Valentijn Driessen, Jeroen Kapteijns en Pim Sedee. Natuurlijk gaat het over het Nederlands elftal.

De WK-kwalificatie is binnen, maar gaat Oranje daar hoge ogen gooien? Driessen denkt van niet. Hij denkt wél dat bondscoach Louis van Gaal zal overstappen op het 5-3-2 systeem.

Dan de strafzaak rond Quincy Promes. De aanvaller wordt door het Openbaar Ministerie vervolgd voor poging doodslag, vanwege een messteek. Hakim Ziyech is overtuigd van zijn onschuld, en plaatste een steunbetuiging op Instagram. Driessen noemt het ‘niet slim’. Kapteijns gaat in op een andere heftige zaak: de aanrijding waarbij een 4-jarige jongen om het leven kwam. Heracles-voetballer Rai Vloet zat in de auto, en vermoedelijk onder invloed achter het stuur.

Verder in Kick-off: Giovanni van Bronckhorst naar Rangers FC, de blessuregolf bij PSV en de het corona-avontuur van Oranje onder 19 in Israël.

Alasdair talks to Phil MacDonald, Chief Operating Officer of energy think-tank Ember, about new analysis which places Drax as the UK's single biggest emitter of carbon dioxide in the UK and among the top 5 emitters in Europe. 

Phil provides a startling explanation of how a huge amount of carbon emissions are being missed, and how incentives exist for governments to use biomass for power because of an apparent accounting loophole around its use.

Weer een nieuwe podcast Kick-off waarin Pim Sedee met chef voetbal Valentijn Driessen en Ajax-volger Mike Verweij het laatste voetbalnieuws bespreekt.

Driessen loopt niet direct de ‘coëfficiëntenpolonaise’, maar de goede prestaties van de Nederlandse clubs in de Europese toernooien vallen op. Feyenoord ging bijvoorbeeld furieus van start tegen Slavia Praag, en won uiteindelijk in de Kuip met 2-1. Arne Slot levert als coach van Feyenoord tot nu toe een knappe prestatie, stellen Driessen en Verweij. Op de vraag of hij de ideale opvolger voor Ajax-coach Erik ten Hag zou zijn, antwoordt Verweij ook met ‘ja’. 

Er wordt weer gebeld met Barcelona-correspondent Robin Jongmans. Barcelona-coach Ronald Koeman bungelt op de rand van het ravijn, en Jongmans stelt dat een vertrek voor de hand ligt. Ook bij een goed resultaat zaterdag uit tegen Atletico Madrid. ,,Het is niet zomaar dat er na een nachtelijk beraad al een lijst met mogelijke opvolgers naar buiten komt,’’ aldus Jongmans. 

Verder in Kick-off: de zaak Bryan Roy, de selectie van het Nederlands elftal, de situatie rondom Ajax-doelman André Onana en veel meer.

Weer een tjokvolle podcast Kick-off, met chef voetbal Valentijn Driessen, Ajax-volger Mike Verweij en presentor Pim Sedee.

Na het gelijkspel van Oranje tegen Noorwegen kan bondscoach Louis van Gaal zijn pijlen richten op de volgende tegenstander Montenegro. In de persconferentie liet Van Gaal nog niet zijn volledige basisopstelling doorschemeren. Volgens Driessen wil Van Gaal spelers in hun kracht laten spelen en daarom zal er hoogstwaarschijnlijk een plaats zijn in de basis voor Tyrell Malacia.

Ajax heeft een relatief rustige transferperiode doorgemaakt. Toch is er nog veel te doen over het aflopende contract van keeper André Onana. Volgens Verweij gaan Ajax en Onana binnenkort om de tafel zitten over zijn contract.

Tot slot worden alle binnen- en buitenlandse transfers doorgenomen en meldt Verweij dat PSV snode plannen had om Wolfsburg af te troeven in de strijd om de handtekening van verdediger Micky van de Ven.

Have you felt intimidated going to the lumber yard not knowing the basics?  Have you wondered what's really behind the astronomical increase in lumber prices over the past year and half?  I've got the Vice President of Peach State Lumber Products, Bert Scarbrough on the show to give you the proper know-how!  Bert has decades of experience including completion of the rigorous training program of the NHLA (National Hardwood Lumber Association).

Een dag na de zege van Oranje op Noord-Macedonië (3-0) blikt presentator Pim Sedee met chef voetbal Valentijn Driessen en Oranje-volger Mike Verweij terug op de groepsfase van het EK en vooruit op de achtste finale, zondag om 18.00 uur in het Hongaarse Boedapest.

Volgens Driessen en Verweij heeft PSV-aanvaller Donyell Malen zich in de basis gespeeld. ,,Met hem, Memphis Depay en Georginio Wijnaldum is een gouden trio geboren,’’ stelt Driessen. Verweij vult aan: ,,Malen is een plaag voor elke ploeg.’’

Hoe veel kans maakt Oranje nou op welke tegenstander in de achtste finale? Die vraag wordt voorgelegd aan Peter Hendrix van de Tilburg University.

Verder in Kick-off Oranje: moet het Nederlands elftal een statement maken voor homo-acceptatie? Ook komen de laatste ontwikkelingen bij Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV en AZ aan bod.

In this episode of the Learning the Land podcast, we’re kicking off a three-part mini-series about our working lands! Specifically, how we integrate timber harvesting, cattle grazing, and farming into our land management plans.

Working lands can sometimes seem at odds with conservation goals, so we’re interviewing our Natural Resources Manager, Matthew Timmer, to get a better understanding of why it can be beneficial to protect AND work the land. Our focus in this episode is on our working forests to give you an inside look at sustainable timber harvesting and the important economic and stewardship role this practice plays in our work.
