Notes on Using This System

• This system provides quotations only. Final contracts will be concluded after consultation with our staff. Prices shown are for reference.

Notes on Ordering

• Shipment will be made only after the bank confirms the L/C. We never ship before L/C confirmation.
• No returns or cancellations are accepted after the contract is finalized.

Notes on Quality

• There may be slight variations in product quality.

Notes on Knots

• “With knots” includes dead knots. Sawmills generally do not remove dead knots.
• “No knots” often includes small knots (Jōkosetsu grade) depending on the sawmill.
• Jōkosetsu means up to three knots of 5 mm or smaller per board, but the criteria vary by sawmill.

Notes on Size

• Green lumber shrinks as it dries. The actual size may be smaller than shown.

Notes on Round Edges

• Materials marked as “rounded” may contain remnants of tree bark.

Notes on Grades

Grades A, B, and C are based on Japanese sawmill standards.
(A) Suitable for construction
(B) Suitable but may have defects such as cracks
(C) Unsuitable for construction; major defects
* Some sawmills may mix grades B and C.
* Japanese grading is based on construction use and is not determined solely by knot count.

Notes on Drying

• Japanese KD lumber is dried to suit Japanese construction standards.
• Moisture content is reduced to around 13%, but may reabsorb moisture.
• The process is to reduce warping and is not intended to reach below 9% like furniture-grade lumber.

Notes on Green Lumber

• Green lumber may change size or quality, or develop blue stain as it dries.

Other Notes

• Wood is a natural material and varies in color, grain, cracks, and warping.
• Photos are for reference and do not perfectly match the actual product.
• Please contact the operator or sawmill before placing a provisional order if you have questions.
