From the $6 million fine levied against Imperial Sugar to the release of a global study on illegal logging and from President Obama’s signing of a formaldehyde standard to the EPA being sued over its lead rule, I can’t recall a month in my 25 years in which so many industry issues made headlines as we witnessed in July.

Thermally treated wood is gaining visibility in the U.S. market. More widely known in Europe (it’s used in sauna and steam bath build-outs), the process employs specialized high-temperature kilns and steam to treat either hardwoods or softwoods, making them insect- and water-resistant and weatherproof without chemicals. In the kiln, wood darkens as the process removes organics that can contribute to decay. Some users say this permits certain lighter wood colors to stand in for darker and more expensive species.
