What is the local feasibility of building a dowel Cross Laminated Timber (dCLT) product with collected secondary lumber?
The research explores the local potential for salvaged secondary (waste) lumber to serve as material stock for dowel Cross Laminated Timer (dCLT). Using a mixed methods approach, including prototyping and interviews, the investigation seeks to understand the systems implicated in the reuse of secondary lumber.
