North America

3A is agent for Baillie Lumber on the French market.

The production capacity of Baillie sawmills allows us to offer you edged sawn timber according to your needs. It is thus possible to select full containers with fixed widths materials if required.

From 4/4 ” to 12/4 “

Baillie Lumber produces planks with fixed widths with a sorting of planks by half inches (ie 1.25 cm). 

From 4/4’’ to 12/4’’

White ash has a similar appearance to its European counterpart.
The sapwood is light in color, sometimes almost white, and the shade of the perfect wood varies from gray-brown to light brown or pale yellow with brown veins.

From 4/4’’ to 12/4’’

The sapwood is creamy white and may be streaked, the perfect wood fading from pale yellow brown to olive green. The green color of perfect wood tends to darken after UV exposure and turns brown.

From 4/4 ” to 12/4 “

Standardized quality Baillie Lumber offers sawn timber with a red face and a minimum of 50% of the red backing. We can also offer you sawn timber classified by width, and thus optimize your yields by offering you fixed widths matching your needs.

From 4/4 ” to 12/4 “

Baillie Lumber is located in the privileged region of the Hard Maple, where the tree is known to be the whitest. The resulting quality is classified as “1 and 2 white”, which means a white face and 50% of the white backing.
As for Oak, we are developing a “Superprime” quality with boards classified according to their appearance and therefore 90% of them have 4 white sides. We can offer you complete sets of planks in fixed widths.

    This range requires a close relationship with the production unit in Asia.
