What is a raw wood board?

A raw wood board is unplaned, unsanded sawn wood, often with its natural irregularities. It can be:

• Avivée (four sharp edges, squared)
• Mismatched (more rustic wood, with knots or singularities)
• In plots (log sawn flat, planks kept together)

Raw planks are very popular for woodworking, the frame, the massive furniture Or theinterior layout.

What factors influence the price of raw wood?

The price of a board varies according to several criteria:

1. Wood species

Some species are rarer or more complex to dry. For example:

• Chêne : robust and popular → higher price
• Ash : excellent quality/price ratio
• Beech : ideal for interior design

2. Wood quality

Visual and structural quality is classified (QF1A, QS1, etc.). Wood without knots, straight, with a regular thread, will be more expensive than rustic wood.

3. Dimensions

Prices are often expressed at m³, but they can also be calculated on a plank basis according to:

• Thickness (e.g.: 27, 34, 41, 54 mm...)
• Length (e.g.: 2 to 5 m)
• Width (variable)

4. Type of sawing and drying

• Freshly sawn rough : more accessible price
• Natural or artificial drying : + added value
• THT wood (high temperature treated): higher price

5. Origin of wood

One French local wood, which comes from sustainably managed forests (such as those of Scierie VUITTON, a member of French Timber), can justify a fairer price, because it supports the national sector and reduces the carbon footprint.
