90% of our purchases are standing timber, bought directly from private forest cooperatives, individual owners,
or through public auctions from the French National Forestry Office "O.N.F."

3-  Logging

As we buy standing timber we manage the logging and hauling operations with local forestry partners, who follow
our strict specifications and are audited every year. To improve the preservation quality of our woods we harvest the
trees in dry & cold season, and in waning moon cycle only.

Transportation of the logs from the forest to our yard is done with our own logtruck.
The logs which are not sawn immediately are stored under water.
