Our wood products
From the forest. For the future.
Our wood comes exclusively from German forests managed under certified, sustainable forestry practices.
“Out of respect for the valuable raw material wood, nothing goes to waste here.
We use all parts of the delivered logs.”
Jörg Schröder
Chief Operating Officer
Lumber
We offer a wide selection of native wood species in various grades and sizes – sustainably harvested, precisely processed, and carefully classified according to the needs of our customers. Oak, beech, sycamore, alder, or ash – each wood tells its own story full of character. Whether in industry, craftsmanship, or design – write the next chapter.
Quality
Our lumber was carefully prepared for further processing. After natural and artificial wood drying, the moisture content is 8-10%. The wood is stable in shape and moisture. It can be processed immediately and does not require further storage. The measurement is taken after drying, trimming, and sorting. The strengths are held according to KD. Unless otherwise stated, all lumber is parallel-sawn.
Oak
Oak – Strong in character and versatile
Oak wood, like almost no other type of wood, stands for durability and character and convinces with its hardness, stability, and natural beauty – ideal for furniture making, interior design, high-quality flooring, or wood construction.
A material with a history – and a future.

Red oak
Red Oak – warm, lively, elegant
With its distinctive grain, warm, light to reddish-brown color, and open-pored robustness, the red oak, originally from North America, combines natural beauty with good resistance. Our red oak comes from controlled German forestry and has a good ecological balance. We recommend this cost-effective alternative to white oak for interior applications, modern furniture construction, and elegant room design.

Ash
Ash – lively, powerful, authentic
The native ash tree impresses with high elasticity and durability, making it an ideal material for creating curved shapes. Ash wood is therefore used not only in furniture making, for stairs and parquet, but also in sports equipment. The light to yellowish-white wood of the ash tree is striking due to its lively, colorful structure.
Ash brings energy and dynamism to any interior – a wood with a powerful, natural presence.
No matter how you turn the board; our A-grade ash is flawless on both sides. In the A-white color sorting, you get lumber with the typical ash grain in a subtle color without a brown core.

Cut-to-size pieces
In the production of parallel-edged sawn timber, friezes, scantlings, and cut-to-size pieces are produced. Upon request, we offer a wide range of dimensions in all wood grades.
Firewood
Tried-and-true energy from wood – sustainable and efficient.
Wood is one of the oldest and most natural energy sources for generating heat, preparing food, preserving food, and creating a sense of security. Wood from domestic forests with responsible forestry is both then and now a sustainable, climate-friendly energy source.
The production of high-quality lumber generates so-called sawmill by-products. Out of respect for nature and the long life of trees, we use all parts of our grown raw material.
Every Friday, we offer firewood at our sawmill from 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM in private sales.
Briquettes
Durin sawing, wood shavings are produced and pressed into our high-quality heating briquettes. Since our sawmill processes only dry hardwood, primarily oak, our briquettes have an especially high calorific value of 5.0 kWh/kg and a long burn time due to the high compression.
HIF Briquettes – vibrant flames and long-lasting embers!

- 100% oak wood briquettes without binders or other additives
- High calorific value 5.0 (KWH)
- Consistent and particularly long burning time

Cape Wood
Our cap wood is created by further processing our dried oak lumber. With a residual moisture of only about 8-12%, it can provide cozy warmth without hesitation, in an environmentally friendly manner and with very good heating values, or be used in a wood or stone stove. We cut our logs to a length of approximately 15-30 cm, suitable for the usual stove sizes.

Tree trunk
In our sawmill, log sections are cut in the cutting setup in the first processing step. This fresh wood should be seasoned for about 2 years so that it can fully develop its heating power. The log sections can best be split into even billets while they are fresh and stacked/piled in a well-ventilated manner. They produce visually attractive firewood with the good heating value of hard oak wood.

Wood chips
Wood chips – naturally versatile and sustainable
Wood chips are an environmentally friendly, regional raw material with many uses. At our sawmill, wood chips are a byproduct of the production of lumber. We chop the first cut of each tree trunk (bark) into small wood chips.
Read on
- Sustainable fuel: In wood chip boilers or biomass plants, wood chips provide efficient, CO₂-neutral heat.
- Garden & Landscape: As mulch or paving, they protect the soil, suppress weeds, and provide a natural look.
Wood chips combine sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility—a smart choice for those who value natural and regional resources.
Price: 40,– €/srm
incl. VAT
Sawdust
Fine and versatile in use
Wood chips are created in the daily work process of our sawmill at various stations. It is stored dry, then either pressed into wood briquettes, used in the company’s own power plant for heat generation, or offered freely for further use.

The fine sawdust is ideal for:
- Sustainable energy source for biomass and heating material
- Soil cover, mulch, or as a component of humus and substrate mixtures in horticulture and agriculture.
- Barnyard flooring in animal husbandry. The barnyard floors can be cleaned more easily and the shavings improve the barnyard climate.
- Natural filling and padding material in shipping containers.
- Raw material for chipboard
If you would like to use sawdust as a material, we would be happy to advise you on quality, moisture, fineness, and availability.
Price: 30,– €/srm
incl. VAT
Bark Mulch
The all-rounder for garden design
We collect the bark from our logs and gently reduce it to bark mulch. This creates high-quality mulch that serves the garden and outdoor areas well in maintaining soil quality.
Read on
- Weed-suppressing, moisture-retaining, and temperature-regulating soil protection
- Aesthetic covering for beds, tree bases, and driveways
- Perennial and shrub plantings benefit from the nutrient-poor, pH-neutral mulch.
- Clean, low-dust covering of leisure and play areas that supports small organisms
- Humus and substrate mixtures in horticulture and agriculture.
