About Us

We are an American-based family owned business with strong ties in the African lumber industry. As an exotic hardwood lumber supplier, we supply national chains, hardwood lumber stores, and catalog companies with both exotic and domestic hardwoods as lumber, slabs, veneers, cut to size stock, turning blocks, and more. We also stock a variety of hardwood plywood and specialty HexPlywood, available in both full sheets and custom cut to your specifications. 

Our goal is to provide retailers with both the wood species and wide breadth of products artisans and woodworkers are looking for, providing a one-stop supplier for your wood products.     

Our warehouse is located in Weaverville [near Asheville], North Carolina where we import various African, South American & South Pacific hardwoods and related products which we process for wholesale and retail distribution.

We offer an ever-expanding line of retail products and finished items, including woodturning blanks for pens, wine stoppers and pepper mills, chef’s quality hardwood cutting boards, plus thin stock, dowels, dimension stock, slabs, and one-of-a-kind pieces for all woodworking and woodturning enthusiasts.

Sustainability and sound reforestation programs are the key factor to our organization. We have a strong commitment to the environmental issues that face our industry and will only purchase from reputable and environmentally sound saw milling groups. We have through the years managed to build up long lasting relationships with saw milling groups that have a strong environmental, social and humanitarian obligation to the areas and communities they work in.

Our warehouse is located in Weaverville [near Asheville], North Carolina where we import various African, South American & South Pacific hardwoods and related products which we process either at our mills / manufacturing plants in South Africa or Asheville for wholesale and retail distribution.
