Span Book for Major Lumber
Species
The U.S. Span Book for Major Lumber
Species contains rafter, joist and header
spans for both Canadian and U.S.
species. The previous Canadian Wood
Council U.S. Span Book contained
information on Canadian species only, in
the same fashion that the various
U.S.-based books pertained to a limited
number of U.S. species groups.
‘For some time, U.S. customers have asked
for a single span book that would cover all main species
groups,’ says John Burrows, CWC Senior Manager of
Communications and Business Development. ‘We are filling a
need and at the same time showing how Canadian lumber
compares favourably with U.S. species.’
The Span Book was introduced at the 1997 NAHB in Houston.
‘We distributed 4,400 copies to very appreciative builders at the show
and have plans to distribute thousands more to U.S. builders and
architects,’ says Roger LeVasseur, CWC Manager of U.S.
Business Development.
