About · 10+ years in the trade

A trading desk, not a stock list

RFQ Timber is a timber procurement and export business. We buy against a buyer's written specification, verify what is produced, and deliver it to the port they name.

01 · Experience

Ten years of knowing who holds the grade

Over a decade in the timber trade, working across the product line — logs through panels and further-processed goods. That experience is mostly practical: which mills can actually hold a grade, what a specification will cost, and where a shipment tends to go wrong.

It means an offer that reflects what is producible, and quality that is checked rather than assumed.

02 · How we work

Specification first

Species, grade, sizes, moisture, packing and marking are written down and agreed before anything is bought.

Sourced, not stocked

We go to mills that can produce your order and price against live availability, so the offer is real.

Verified before loading

Goods are checked against the agreed spec. Deviations are reported before shipment, not discovered on arrival.

Delivered worldwide

Container or breakbulk, FOB, CFR or CIF, documented for the destination.

03 · A note from the founder

Why I quote against a spec, not a stock list

I spent the years before RFQ Timber on the buying side of this trade, chasing brokers for a straight answer on what a mill could actually produce — and finding, more than once, that the answer was whatever kept the deal moving rather than what was true. That's the gap RFQ Timber exists to close: every order starts with a written specification, not a stock list, sourced from mills that can hold it, and checked before it ships — not after it lands. It's slower than selling off what's already sitting in a yard, and it's the only way I've found to make an offer you can trust before you've paid for it.
