We are a family-run sawmill in Serbia that works with one wood: European Oak. We cut it, dry it, grade it, measure it and load it ourselves. Here is what that means for you.
Two quotes can show the same €/m³ and still end in very different invoices. The difference is in how the boards are measured. Take one Oak board:
| Thickness | 52 mm | 0% |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 150 mm | +3.4% |
| Length | 2,200 mm | +1.4% |
| Price you pay | +4.9% |
| Thickness | 50 mm | −3.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 140 mm | −3.4% |
| Length | 2,100 mm | −3.2% |
| Price you pay | −10.2% |
Same board, same €/m³. Our invoice is 14.3% lower.
When you compare quotes, compare the invoice, not just the €/m³.
We sort the logs, saw them, dry them, grade them and load the container, all at our mill in Loznica. Every board you receive has passed through our own hands.
Oak logs from managed Serbian forests are sorted by diameter and quality before sawing.
Each log is opened to get the best yield of clear, straight-grained boards.
Boards are stacked and kiln-dried to 8–12% moisture, or shipped fresh sawn.
Every board is inspected and graded by hand to a single, consistent standard.
Bundles are strapped, labelled and loaded at the mill for delivery worldwide.
The Chami family has run the mill for more than 20 years. Our graders have spent years learning to read Oak, and the same people grade your first order and your hundredth.
Start with one order and check the quality yourself. When it works, agree a monthly volume and we plan our sawing and drying around it.
As your business grows, your volume can grow with it. With more than 10,000 m³ of Oak logs cut a year and 2,000 m³ of kiln capacity, we have room for more.
Six grades, from UWP to BC. Four standard thicknesses, kiln-dried or fresh sawn. All from one mill.
One supplier means one contact, one set of specifications and one grading standard. No differences between batches from different mills, and no need to check every supplier again.
We saw one wood only: European Oak, Quercus robur and Quercus petraea, slow-grown in the forests of the Balkans.
Every log is assessed before it is cut and sawn for the best yield of clear, straight-grained boards. We know this wood, and we care how it reaches you.
