Cants cut to your breakdown plan
Tell us your target finished sizes and we saw the cant schedule around them. Cants travel efficiently by container or bulk stow and keep the same document trail as our lumber lines.

Applications
What this form becomes
Cants are the semi-finished route: your breakdown plan decides the end form — veneer blocks, furniture blanks or lining boards. These are the destinations your schedule is sawing towards.
Veneer-faced cabinetry
Rotary-cut okoume veneer as a decorative face over a panel core.
Furniture & joinery
Lightweight frames, doors and components machined from okoume lumber.
Interior lining
Ceiling and wall boards where weight per cubic metre is money.
