OUR LOGS

Our passion – guaranteed sustainability

We at Bansmann sawmill only use logs that have been grown in Germany by sustainable forestry methods. Each trunk is a natural ‘blank canvas’. We are passionate about arranging wood according to its unique properties and assigning it to its prescribed use. From quality veneer to striking pippy oak, nature lends us endless possibilities. In addition to oak our main species, we also use high-quality ash cuts and maple trunks.

THE PRINCIPLE OF SUSTAINABILITY

Von Von Carlowitz called for forest management, steady afforestation and ‘sustainable’ use, which saw ‘sustainable forestry’ quickly develop into a technical term. People were only to harvest as much wood as could grow back. With that in mind, he paved the way for sustainable forestry in Germany.

Mining Administrator Official Hans Carl von CARLOWITZ (1645 – 1714) from Freiberg in Saxony, Germany, is considered to be the forefather of the concept of sustainability.
