- APFP sells at premium prices in Japan
- Our lumber is more like lumber sawn in a Japanese specialty mill.
- Able to see the entire mill floor and lumber flow in one view
- We're a smaller mill with all the advantages of being able to maintain sawing and grading quality and consistency.
- Able to saw logs from the inside-out. This allows the sawyers at three carriages to see the worst face before selecting the next sawline and consequently the product size and grade.
- We can produce more volume vertical grain lumber, with improved percentages of true 90 degree vertical grain, and with wider vertical boards and flitches.
- APFP can target smaller market niches. We are able to accommodate special customer grades, order sizes, shipping schedules, packaging, and lumber protection. Our operators and graders recognize compression wood, mineral streaks, irregular grain patterns and colour.
