• Oak logs from French mostly PEFC certified forests
• Boules debarked and cleanly trimmed 
• Logs sawn into boards then reassembled into boules or bundled
• Fresh timber, air dried in a warehouse to prevent checks or kiln dried
• Stored on dry profiled wooden sticks to control stains
• Boules and boards strapped and identified with barcode label

• The accuracy of the sawing is checked on a daily basis with an overmeasure
• Grade Q-B 1 and Q-B 1b selected for their brown colour (cf. other product information sheets and European grading standard)
• Coloration in patches or streaks, with various shades, from white-brown to red-brown.

Really original grade, useable in joinery, furniture, parquet, flooring:

• either in its natural state where its unusual colour is really brought to the fore
• or painted to bring out the specific texture of the oak.

 

Measurement and grading carried out on green tally. Minimum volume: 5 m3 per thickness
