CHESTNUT GROVE SAWMILLS
POPLAR – BLUE GUM – WOOD – BEAMS – POLES – FLOORING
Chestnut Grove Sawmills is the leading supplier of sawn Poplar & Blue gum wood to the Western and Eastern Cape, operating 6 state of the art Breakdown and Recovery saws.
Up to 70% of our work is repeat business from timber wholesalers, thatching companies and developers that we have built relationships since 1999.
A tree is cut up into sections, with a precision band saw (typically Woodmizer) to give a traditional rafter/floor type aesthetic.
A round pole is trimmed on 4 sides to give a traditional “pit sawn” Provincial/early Cape construction type aesthetic.
Round, tapered poles for roofing, gazebo’s etc. One side can be “slabbed” to give a straight edge to accommodate a floor, ceiling etc.
Poplar is the ideal material for both floor an ceiling planks. Can also be used for furniture, shelves, etc.
We also supply the following products – Bamboo used for ceilings, Lathes for thatching and Timber mouldings such as cornishes and skirtings.
