Exceptional Logs

In our forests from time to time we find exceptional, high value, logs with ripple or bird's eye patterns such as those in the photos below. These special logs (and/or lumber produced from them) are sold on a tender basis and area available to all customers whether long-term or new. To assist you in your bidding we qualify these logs into four categories: excellent quality, good quality, average quality and lower quality and prices usually start at Euros1,000/m3 for the lower quality. If you are interested in receiving notification about these exceptional logs and/or lumber when they become available for sale, please let us know and we will add you to our potential tenderer list.

*Note: Please understand that we are a supplier of raw material. Although we do supply a small volume of 25mm and 32mm, (4/4” and 6/4”) thicknesses, our operations are best suited for the larger thicknesses. Our KD capacity is reserved for our long-term customers. For this reason, we offer air-dried and rough-sawn lumber products so that our customers can themselves kiln dry and further process them into S4S lumber in their own countries.
