    Sawmilling

    Sawing takes place in our sawmill on ultramodern machines in Austria and Romania. We produce both fixed dimensions and special thicknesses.

    Thermo modifying

    Logs are carefully processed using special steaming or boiling, and by request timber can also be thermally modified.

    Grading

    We grade our European timber into three main quality specifications for different customer requirements. We can also select several specifications from the imported hard wood timber to our customers’ requirements.

    Solid Timber Tabletops

    Expressing Individualism

    Solid timber tabletops are the pinnacle of individualism when it comes to solid sawn timber. They are sourced from a single log and
    carefully processed to make unique items of furniture. Wherever they are used, tables become true eye catchers – and for good reason. Selecting the right tabletop means selecting the right tree.

     

    EVERYTHING EXCEPT STANDARD

    Our experts can rely here on many years of experience evaluating quality. While knots, stains and markings are often seen as ‘flaws’, it is exactly these features which lend solid timber table tops their particular character. That’s why only the most exceptional logs are offered as solid timber tabletops.

    JAF is the place to find unique cuts for special projects.
