Our Product

Whether you want an atmospheric evening with your pizza oven, want to experience the authentic taste of a Braai, or just want to enjoy a cozy evening around the Ofyr or wood stove, our wood ensures a perfect experience.
We supply various types of wood, each with a unique story and unique properties. 

Sicklewood
Sicklebush is a tree that grows in the savannahs of Namibia.
This tree is a threat to the Savannas.
The tree overgrows the savannahs and takes away the available moisture, leaving insufficient savannah for the animals to graze.
The Sickle Forest trees also deprive the predators of the space and the view to hunt properly. In short, the original ecosystem of the Savannah is negatively affected by this tree.
But there is good news.
Sekelbos is an extremely dry type of wood and therefore ideal for various cooking applications. With a moisture percentage of 3% in contrast to 15-20% of European wood, Sekelbos wood ensures cleaner and longer burning pleasure.
Our suppliers are FSC approved and also remove the Sekelbos from the Savannahs in a responsible manner.
