Indicative specifications on this website are not a contractual offer. Density, colour and grain vary naturally between logs and shipments; samples are the reference for appearance.
Compliance is part of the specification. Timber is sourced through licensed supply partners and shipped with origin, harvest and phytosanitary documentation. Permit-controlled species are supplied only with valid CITES permits.
Our sourcing approachFormats and grades
We quote against the way you actually manufacture. Tell us the finished component, the machine constraints and the volume, and we will propose a practical format rather than a generic pack.
| Logs | Subject to size, species and export regulations. Diameter and length ranges confirmed per parcel. |
|---|---|
| Sawn timber | Thicknessed and edged to agreed dimensions, sorted by grade and packed for export. |
| Kiln-dried boards | Target moisture 8–12% for interior joinery, furniture and flooring. Moisture checked at dispatch. |
| Veneer flitches | Selected flitches for veneer and panel producers, subject to species and volume. |
| Blanks and shorts | Turning blanks, shorts and offcuts for smaller production runs and specialist products. |
| Custom packing | Bundles strapped, wrapped and marked to your handling requirements, including mixed-width packs. |
Commercial grades
We use recognised visual grades as a starting point, then agree the exact defect tolerance, colour sort and dimension allowance in writing. If you work to an internal grade rule, send it with your enquiry.
| FAS / Select | Clean, high-yield material for face work, joinery and premium components. |
|---|---|
| No.1 Common | Sound material with character marks, suitable for furniture, cabinetry and general joinery. |
| No.2 Common | Practical grade for painted work, structural components and volume production. |
| Custom sort | Species-specific grading, colour sorting and dimension tolerances agreed per contract. |
