The beech that enters a sawmill started being chosen long before, in the forest, with a paint mark on the bark.

It's called tree marking. A forester walks through the beech wood and decides which trees are felled and which stay, so the forest keeps renewing itself.

For anyone buying timber, that gesture matters more than it seems. It decides which logs will reach the log yard, with what diameters and what stems, and so a good part of the board that will end up in your workshop.

And it's also where the origin of every batch comes from.

That's why at Grupo Gámiz, where we saw beech in Campezo, we follow so closely what happens in the forest before the log reaches us.

That work is being tested in demonstration beech stands in northern Spain within – Hardwood For The Home, a project coordinated by Cesefor, with PEFC España, which we are part of.

The project itself tells you on its website about our sawmill's role in the beech value chain.

"Top-grade oak" can mean very different things depending on who says it… and who receives it.

That's what the European standard EN 975-1 is for: it grades sawn oak by appearance with a code. Q for Quercus, a letter for the type of piece and, after it, the grade.

Q-B is the whole log sawn through, with the boards unedged and kept in the order they came off the saw.

Q-S, loose unedged boards, selected one by one.

Q-F, strips and square-edged timber, up to 41 mm thick.

Q-P, beams.

Grades run from A (exceptional) to 4, in decreasing order. In Q-F, from 1a to 4.

So between a Q-F 1b and a Q-F 3 there's a difference you can measure: how many knots each piece allows, and how big.

Ordering by code saves a lot of phone calls… and the odd returned pack.

At Grupo Gámiz we grade the oak we saw at our Campezo plant batch by batch, in QF1, QF2 and QF3 (other grades on request). The scanner on the line reads every board and our team makes the call.

And if your workshop already orders by code, talk to us in that language… we'll get it first time.

An oak board can survive the saw… and die in the kiln.

Drying is the part of the process nobody photographs and the one that ruins the most pieces.

Too fast, and the board splits at the ends. Uneven, and it twists months later, when it's already machined, fitted and in the customer's home.

That's the problem with drying: it doesn't show up at the sawmill. It shows up in your workshop, or worse, on site.

Which is why it decides, more than any other step, whether the timber is going to behave.

At Grupo Gámiz we dry the oak and beech we saw at our own Campezo sawmill, so we control both ends: how the log is opened and how the board that comes out of it is dried.

Stable, even moisture content, batch after batch, is what makes piece number 400 behave like the first one.

Drying isn't much to look at, but we've been doing it for more than eighty years, so we felt like reminding you how much it matters.

Shall we talk moisture and volumes? 👇

There's a question the client always asks, and that almost never has an answer in writing: how many years is this timber going to last me?

With Accoya Wood, the answer comes on a piece of paper. A 50-year written guarantee for timber that doesn't touch the ground, and 25 for timber that lives in permanent contact with soil or water.

Behind that figure there's a process. Acetylation changes the structure of the wood so that it barely absorbs water, and wood that doesn't drink stops swelling, shrinking and rotting. That's why a term can be signed.

And that's why a façade, a deck or exterior joinery in Accoya defend themselves the day someone asks about maintenance.

At Grupo Gámiz we're the Accoya distributor in Spain. If you have a project out in the open, we'll send you the documentation and the guarantee conditions.

This year, European timber acquired something close to a postal address.

The European deforestation regulation, in application since January, requires you to state which exact point of the forest each consignment came from. Coordinates. "It's European timber" and "the supplier is trustworthy" no longer do: the stand, marked on a map.

It sounds like paperwork, and for a lot of people that's what it has been. Especially for anyone who buys timber already cut, already dried and already graded, and has to work backwards asking someone who in turn asks someone else.

At the sawmill, that question has an answer from day one.

When you're the one opening the log, the origin is the first thing you know about that timber. Before the dimensions, before the grade, before where it's going.

A sawmill is capacity, saw and kiln. And it's memory too: being able to look at a board and know which forest it came down from.

If you need documented origin for the timber you buy, ask us. We've had it since the first cut.

Work out how much money is sitting in your workshop's offcut skip this week. Price it as oak.

When you buy standard sizes and trim them yourself, you pay twice. Once for the wood that ends up inside the product, and once for the wood that ends up on the floor. That second one never shows on an invoice, but you pay it all the same.

And the more hardwood is worth, the heavier it gets.

Sawing to order changes the starting point. If we know what section you need, the log is opened with it in mind, and what comes off the saw already has your dimensions on it.

Less handling in your workshop, fewer machine hours and less oak in the skip.

It's one of those advantages that don't show in the price per cubic metre and do show at the end of the month.

Tell us what sizes you get through and in what quantities, and we'll take a look 👇

The order you're closing this week ships in December. And you may still not know what day the timber will reach you…

That's September's trap. Everyone comes back, sites restart, dates get asked for... and the last quarter fills up before the raw material is confirmed.

From there on, every commitment is a gamble.

The difference comes down to who controls the cut. When the log enters your own sawmill, the date is set by your own sawing, kilning and grading schedule.

That's what we do at Grupo Gámiz with European beech and oak: sizes cut to your dimensions and a lead time you can hold in front of a customer.

If you still have the last quarter to close, now is when you talk volumes. By November –and you know it– it will be too late.

Tell us what you need and when! 👇

While you're resting, your wooden deck is having the toughest month of the year.

The midday sun expands it, the afternoon storm swells it, the cool night shrinks it.

And that constant swing of swelling, shrinking and swelling again is what ends up opening cracks, lifting splinters and multiplying the maintenance of any outdoor wood.

Accoya plays in another league. Its acetylation process transforms the wood so it barely absorbs water, so it stops moving with every change in the weather: it stays stable, flat and firm under sun and rain alike.

That's why it's one of the preferred woods for decking, façades and exterior joinery that have to withstand real summers.

There's no such thing as "the best wood." There's the right one for each job, and that's the advantage of having your own sawmill.

In European hardwood no single species beats them all: there's one for each demand. Oak rules where there's hardness, wear or presence; beech, where you need finesse, clean machining and a light, even tone.

But getting the species right means nothing if the wood arrives inconsistent. That's why what matters is who transforms it: controlling the primary processing (sawing, drying and grading in Campezo) is what lets us give you each species at its best and in the exact dimension your job calls for.

At Grupo Gámiz we transform oak and beech so you get the right wood, not the most expensive one.

Think of a fine wood for a high-end interior. Chances are you didn't think of beech. And that's exactly where the opportunity lies.

European beech has everything for high-end interiors (fine grain, warm tone, great strength) and yet it's spent years relegated to uses that don't do it justice.

The difference between run-of-the-mill beech and premium beech? It's not in the forest: it's in how it's transformed.

Sawing, drying and grading it with real care is what turns a noble tree into wood worthy of fine panelling, furniture or a staircase.

That's our role: the industrial link that transforms sustainably managed beech in Campezo and gives it back the place it deserves in interior architecture.

It's also the spirit of - Hardwood For The Home, the project co-funded by the European Union and coordinated by Cesefor Fundación that we're part of: boosting the beech value chain in Spain, from forest to build.
