Phil, I think you're on the right track with "indiscriminate". It is also defined as "hybrid". Perhaps "multiple sources"?

Jonathan Could you give us the list anyway? It might be helpful.

philgoddard Dec 10, 2012:

No, nothing to do with shavings. Rase doesn't mean shavings (that's copeaux), and it's cardboard, not chipboard.

I agree with Jonathan that "coupe rase" is "clear cutting/felling", but I can't put my finger on the precise meaning of "bâtarde". In this French-German question, it's translated as "coarse":

I wonder if it's something like "indiscriminate" - but that's implied by clear cutting anyway, which just cuts down everything in sight.

rase = shavings

It is made from wood shavings and recycled paper...glued together and compressed
