We have our regular living people in Indonesia.
Mostly for purchasing Makassar Ebony, Amara Ebony and Sonokeling.
With very special experience for wood, he also go to Burma for Teak and go to Brazil for santos rosewood.
Ebony comes from Indonesia mostly by flitch.
We take out the low quality flitch for solid wood furniture and sell to furniture factory in China.
We take good and small flitch for thin veneer with thickness 0.10 - 0.30mm.
Burma Teak we buy two kinds. One is roung logs but mostly for our flooring veneer production.
Only the high grade veneers for panel.
Burma Teak flitch we produce into normal teak veneer mostly with black grain.
Zhangjiagang City is the biggest African wood center in China.
The place for the log center takes about 1,000,000.00 sqm.
The African wood comes from Africa by ship not by container.
Because the logs mostly are very long some can have a length 50 meters which is too big to put in container.
The logs mostly are Sapele, Anigre, Wenge, Zebrano, Mahogany, Okoume, makore, movingui etc.
Zhangjiagang City is about 200 kms far from Jiashan City.
Our log purchase people go there to purchase the right grade logs for the production.
Jiashan is the biggest American wood center in China.
Here we have 3 big log trading center mostly for American wood.
We have log yard in the trading center with variety of wood logs.
Mostly are American Red oak, American White Oak, American White Ash,
American Black Walnut, Maple, Cherry, Hickory.
The biggest log stock is Red Oak. Our regular running stock is 20 containers for red oak
and at least 5 containers for others.
European Ash and beech also put together here.
This can ensure the supplying of wood veneer once get customer's requirement.
Not every sheet of veneer comes from wood logs.
But also comes from flitch or timber. Thest mostly origin Russia.
Russia has plenty of wood and good diameter logs.
For a easy transfer and also due to export requirement in Russia, they firstly cut
the logs in to timber and then deliver to China.
Firstly we select veneer grade long of China ash,China Elm,China Oak, China Walnut, Basswood,Knotty Pine etc.
Then we transfer the logs by truck to our customer-cut factory in Northeast China.
And make selection for different size and grade.
Some we produce thin veneer from 0.10mm to 0.30mm if the log's grade very high.
Some we produce into 0.45mm for demostic China market.
Some we produce 0.50mm - 0.60mm or more for foreign customers or specail orders.
