European Oak “Spessart” – Quercus Petrea

Sam and European Spessart White Oak

Most of my logs are coming out of Europe today because of the unavailability of domestic White Oak Rift logs in America. I buy veneer quality logs from a few of the most famous oak forests in Germany and France.

The demand is high for Rift & Qtrd Spessart oak in America because of the amount of high quality Spessart & European veneer being used here from these forests. There is a need for solid lumber to match this veneer. Domestic White Oak will not match this veneer because the Spessart & European logs are much tighter grained and more evenly grown with perfect straw color.

I travel there every year and buy logs at auctions in the forest they were grown in. These logs are in very high demand from buyers all over the world and are in limited quantities. I only buy logs in the few special forests where the best, tight grown logs come from. I then have them custom sawn under my supervision to my specks and air dried and then kiln dried before I ship the lumber here to my yard.

RIFT, SPESSART OAK is in very high demand these days. It is also in low supply. Rift logs are scarce and very expensive. We have very good contacts and are able to get a limited amount of the best Oak logs in Europe. We are now stocking, 8/4, Veneer Quality, Rift one face, Lumber, up to 18’ long. We are also cutting 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, & 10/4 Rift.
