The logs are sorted by quality in order to be sawn into logs. They are then edged into trays of the same thickness. The trays are stacked for drying. A set of sawn trays will make up a boule. Finally, the logs are stacked for drying. Image gallery Our oak boules Industrie du Bois de Neuvy’s oak boules are made from logs selected according to strict conformity and quality. Indeed, in order to offer our customers the quality they are looking for, our logs must be sound and therefore free of frost, lunure, rust, etc. Our balls are then classified according to their lengths, diameters and qualities in order to determine the thickness of the trays that will be produced from them. Finely debarked, the logs are sawn into boards of the same thickness. One by one, the trays of a log are carefully stacked according to several optimal parameters for their drying. Our logs are called “reconstituted”, i.e. the trays are stacked by logs. For our customers, the advantage of the reconstituted pad is to guarantee a homogeneity of grain and colour between all the trays of a pad. The latter are then numbered by iron to ensure traceability. After leaving the sawmill, our boules are stacked on our stock where they will sweat for 1 to 5 years depending on their thickness. Ready to use for our customers, these plots, washed of part of their tannins, are “air dry”. Nevertheless, to meet all demands, our dried boules can be dried with the help of dryers and are also available in “dry kiln”. Furthermore, in order to promote sustainable management of our forests, our logs are PEFC (Pan European Forest Council) certified according to the batches.
