AACR2 Forester J. D. Coleman invented a process known as Scrimber in the 1970s. In it small logs, such as radiata pine thinnings, are crushed between rollers to form long inter-connected strands, dried and then reconstituted as long sections after addition of a binding resin and hot pressing. For some years Coleman worked for the CSIRO Division of Forest Research.

Coleman has received the following CSIRO awards:

1986 - Sir Ian McLennan Impact from Science and Engineering Award for developing an automatic, high-speed process for producing waxed, corrugated cardboard boxes;

1987 - CSIRO Medal for Research Achievement for his invention of SCRIMBER, a reconstituted wood product designed to overcome both the shortage of quality timber for structural purposes and the high cost inherent in producing manufactured structural beams.
