The
first step in this process is to air-dry
or 'season' the logs, which are sourced
from controlled forest concessions.
After seasoning for up to 3 months,
the logs are rough-sawn in the sawmill.
These large planks are further seasoned,
before being put into the klins for
drying.
Depending
on the thickness of the planks, they
spend between 15 to 45 days on average
in the kilns.

Kiln-dried
timber is stored under cover until it
is sent to the production line.
The
properly dried timber is then machine
processed in batches. Moulding, cutting,
drilling, tenoning... all these steps
are performed on fells modern, imported
machinery.
The
assembled parts are all soaked in a
proprietary oil, which incorporates
UV protection,
|
|
anti-fungal
elements, and a base colorant. After
wiping and drying, all is sent to the
packing line.
We operate
on a made-to-order, just-in-time syatem,
and all of our completed furniture is
loaded straight from our packing line
into containers for export around around
the world.
