re: A problem in Brazil

You know certification is just to make the people with conscience feel comfortable.
How do you the nike shoes you buy on ebay or reputable store a real one?
Actually most of them are made in the same factory that makes the real shoes in the same package.
What does it have to do with wood? nothing. The principle is the same.
The same certified logger just cut more tree and nobody is there to check.
You lumber yard is too happy the get the extra lumber at a discount.
So we can feel good when seeing that stamp on lumber or at door and even on the receipts; but the truth is nobody is watching.

Just like our dear FDA. they have very few inspectors and hardly do any inspection and that is a government agency.

Oh don’t forget the people here at home who are cutting the burl part of giant tree in national park and sell it to small lumber yard and make few hundred while a few hundred tree is condemned

I think I am going to leave it at that; it might get political.
