TIMBER DRYING

Some timber species are able to withstand rapid commercial processing without damage, others cannot. We dry these species and large dimension sections over extended periods of time, to ensure the best working quality and performance.

PRICING

We will try to match your needs. Stock values vary considerably, even for the same species, and are determined by grading, drying times and production costs.

The following photographs show the various stages of timber production.
