Item Description
May 19, 2012 Fewer than a dozen Northwest companies have mastered the art of milling lumber to Japan's exacting specifications for post-and-beam houses. Two of them, Columbia Vista and Vanport International, send Douglas fir beams to Japan, where they're prized for their strength and fine appearance. Vanport trained workers at the Warm Springs Indian Reservation mill how to cut lumber for Japan. Destruction from last year's tsunami is boosting demand in Japan, which builds more houses these days
