Premium Cameroon Hardwood Logs & Sawn Timber
High-grade commercial hardwood logs and precision-sawn timber Azobé, Tali, Sapelli, Padouk, Ebony, and Ayous supplied directly from Cameroon to international wholesalers, contractors, and manufacturers.
Azobé
One of the heaviest and most durable commercial hardwoods in the world. Renowned for supreme resistance to marine borers, rot, and severe mechanical stress.
Tali
A very hard, dense African timber used increasingly across Europe and Asia as a premier alternative to Azobé for outdoor decking, civil structures, and heavy construction.
Sapelli
Prized globally as an exceptional African mahogany substitute. Features fine interlocked grain with distinctive ribbon figure, excellent workability, and rich warm luster.
Padouk
A spectacular African timber celebrated for its bold coral red coloration, extraordinary dimensional stability, and natural resistance to fungi and termites.
Ebony
Africa's most legendary luxury hardwood, renowned worldwide for its deep jet-black heartwood, exceptional density, and peerless role in master musical instruments, lutherie fingerboards, and fine turning.
Ayous
Soft, lightweight, and uniform hardwood. Easy to machine, mould, and thermally modify for sauna interiors, framing, and light building elements.

Submit Species InquirySupplied in the Form Your Operation Demands
Whether you operate your own sawmill, a secondary joinery facility, or require ready-to-install structural timbers, we supply certified hardwood in three primary export forms.
Hardwood Round Logs
Freshly harvested round logs for buyers with their own milling, peeling, or slicing capacity. Measured, inspected, and quoted by species, diameter class (e.g. 60cm+, 80cm+), length, and export grade.
Rough-Sawn Timber
Clean-sawn boards, planks, and squared beams sawn straight from the log without planing. Suited to further resawing, kiln drying, molding, and industrial construction.
Dimensioned Sawn Timber
Sawn to exact contract thickness, width, and length tolerances for commercial contractors and importers who need immediate uniformity and fast jobsite installation upon arrival.
Stock Availability Confirmed Before Quotation
Available log diameters, sawn dimensions, moisture levels (Green, Air-Dried, or Kiln-Dried), and cutting capacities change with forest cycles. We confirm actual log yard inventory before finalizing any commercial quote.
Port of Douala
Historically the principal gateway for Central African timber. Offers regular container carrier liner calls, established customs handling, and frequent departures to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Kribi Deep-Water Port
Located directly on the Atlantic coastline south of Douala, Kribi accommodates large ocean-going dry bulk and container vessels without tidal limitations, expediting deep-draft departures.

Common Buyer Questions
Quick answers about species, volumes, shipping, and documentation for international timber importers.
What timber species do you supply from Cameroon?
Our primary export focus is on Azobé (Lophira alata), Tali (Erythrophleum ivorense), Sapelli (Entandrophragma cylindricum), Padouk (Pterocarpus soyauxii), and African Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora). In addition, we regularly supply Ayous (Obeche), Iroko, Bilinga, Sipo, and Doussié upon request. If you require another Cameroon species, contact our export desk and we will confirm current availability.
Do you supply Cameroon Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora)?
Yes. We supply genuine Cameroon Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) primarily as dimensioned musical instrument fingerboard blanks (guitar, violin, cello), turning squares, and wax-sealed billets. Every batch is graded, waxed at the ends to prevent checking, and supplied with full Cameroonian legal forestry documentation and phytosanitary certificates.
Do you supply Azobé logs and heavy sawn beams?
Yes. Azobé can be supplied both as round sawlogs and as heavy rough-sawn structural beams (e.g. for marine piling, bridge construction, and harbor works). Because export rules and quota restrictions on specific log classes can vary, we confirm current log export authorization at the time of your inquiry.
Do you supply sawn Sapelli in specific thicknesses?
Yes. Sawn Sapelli is one of our flagship products. We supply standard export thicknesses including 25mm, 32mm, 38mm, 50mm, 63mm, 75mm, and 100mm, in mixed or selected widths (100mm - 300mm+) and lengths (2.1m - 5.5m+). We provide both fresh-cut (green) and air-dried (AD) stock, as well as kiln-dried (KD 12-14%) upon contractual agreement.
