What finger joint length performs better on #Irish-grown Sitka #spruce structural #timber? It appears that 15 mm has superior strength (both for the 70 mm and 89 mm thickness) compared to both the 10 mm and 20 mm alternatives. Not quite what we expected!

The new version of EN1912 is now in Formal Vote stage. Do you want to know what changed compared to the version in 2012? This is a small summary provided by our researchers in the WoodProps project 🌲🌳🪵🏗️🏡 linkedin.com/posts/woodprop…
