One thing this current industry seems to avoid in there policy and for a good reason: embodied energy. The embodied energies of these forest "products" is high-tech and high embodied. It's amazing how low embodied the energy becomes with wood when you take it from the local forest, to the local sawmill, and work with it in the local shop. I'm currently building cabinets for a timber frame i built and building them without any "engineered wood products", not even plywood. It's been a great challenge and very rewarding in the journey towards lowering the embodied energy and increasing the ability to do as much as possible locally.
