mixed logs; assorted logs Explanation: http://bbs.fobshanghai.com/thread-1844122-1-1.html http://free.globalimporter.net/freedetail/21/47763 I've seen this term (I used to work in the industry), and I seem to recall that the way we used it was "assorted logs, mixed logs". |

soft wood Explanation: 杂木家具又称柴木家具,软木家具,用料大多为榆木、核桃木、枣木等木材。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days5 hrs (2009-09-18 10:21:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ’mixed wood‘ is the literal translation of 杂木,I use 'soft wood' to contrast with 硬木 (hard wood). But if 'mixed wood' is the industry standard, then it should be used. |
