Why FJL

Benefits of Finger Jointed Timber from a Manufacturing Perspective

  1. Efficient Wood Utilization: Finger jointed timber allows for the use of smaller wood pieces and offcuts, maximizing the yield from each log. This process significantly reduces material costs and waste, potentially saving manufacturers and furniture makers over 30% in waste compared to using solid random length packs.
  2. Consistent Quality: By selecting high-quality small wood pieces for the finger jointing process, manufacturers can produce a final product with more consistent and superior quality.
  3. Production of Longer Lengths: The finger jointing technique makes it possible to create longer pieces of timber, enabling the production of larger furniture items and other products that would otherwise be restricted by the natural length of a single piece of wood.
  4. Availability of Large Volumes in Set Lengths: Finger jointed timber can be produced in large quantities with specific lengths, such as the often hard-to-source longer lengths, meeting the precise requirements for architectural projects.

Design Benefits of Finger Jointed Timber

  1. Increased Stability: Finger jointed timber forms a solid and stable structure, making it ideal for creating strong and durable furniture and other products.
  2. Versatility: The ability to combine smaller wood pieces into longer, seamless lengths allows for unique and intricate designs. This process results in fewer visible joints, offering designers and architects a visually appealing option for their projects.
  3. Environmentally Friendly: By utilizing smaller wood pieces or offcuts, finger jointed timber helps reduce overall waste. This process is more environmentally responsible compared to using solid wood, as it maximizes the use of available materials. For instance, rather than discarding offcuts, these pieces can be used as the starting point for a new finger jointed section, minimizing waste and making the production process more sustainable.

Janka Rating

What Is the Janka Rating?

The Janka rating is a way to measure how hard a timber is, specifically, how much force it takes to push a small steel ball halfway into the wood. The number you get is shown in kilonewtons (kN). A higher Janka score means a harder, more durable timber. Builders and floor installers use it to work out which timbers hold up better in busy areas.

Here’s a rough guide to how some timbers sit on the scale:

  • Brazilian Walnut – around 16.0 kN
  • Spotted Gum – roughly 11.0 kN
  • Tasmanian Oak – about 5.5 kN
  • Radiata Pine – close to 3.0 kN

Keep in mind: these values can vary depending on moisture content and grain direction.

It's One Part of the Decision

Hardness is useful to know, but it’s just one factor. Janka doesn’t tell you how a timber reacts to heat or humidity, how stable it is, or how easy it is to cut and install.

Some of the hardest woods can be difficult to work with. Others, even if softer, might be more stable or forgiving on-site.

At Greenhill Timbers, we look at the whole picture, not just the numbers. All our timbers are structurally graded and covered by a 25-year guarantee. We'll help you pick something that works for your project, not just on paper.
