don't know enuff about Araucaria as lumber, but what I've seen is pretty knotty w/ interesting grain that might not lend itself to long term stability as planks - if you have access to some straight grain away from heartwood, you could try some testing for weathering, stability, and durability - otherwise there's lotsa fir around!
