Canadian Wood Trial Program
The Canadian Wood Trial Program is an initiative designed to introduce knowledge and best practices for adapting high-quality, sustainable softwood from British Columbia (B.C.) into the production of furniture for manufacturers, wholesalers, trading companies, and importers in Vietnam.
What We Offer
Through the program, we work closely with furniture manufacturers and provide them with free Canadian lumber for trial use. This hands-on experience allows manufacturers to explore the unique properties of five softwood species from B.C. and gain a deeper understanding of their properties, characteristics, and workability.
Canadian Wood offers comprehensive technical advice throughout the trial process, supporting manufacturers from the initial stages through to completion.
The program participants will also be connected with B.C. suppliers, assisting the access to sustainable wood from certified forests for their production needs.

Top Reasons to Join
Versatile & Innovative Materials
Canadian species offer great versatility and strength, while being easy to work with. They are available in a range of grades, and can be readily treated or stained to achieve a variety of looks and finishes. Their lighter weight and ease to work with can be a benefit for furniture makers looking to export lighter, nimbler products. Explore our library of Hemlock and Douglas-fir finishes here.
Competitive Edge
Canadian softwood is a cost-effective alternative, often less expensive than comparable hardwoods. By reducing material costs, manufacturers can optimize production and offer more competitive pricing to global furniture retailers.
Sustainable Choice
Canada is well respected for its world-class sustainable forest management practices and accounts for almost 41% of the world’s total certified forests.
