The Wood
Oak is the mother tree of the Weinviertel. And also that of Frey-Amon.
With oak and the staves from grandfather Amon is how everything started.
Nowadays we have 30 types of wood in storage.
Our passion for hardwood comes from our conviction.
It is moody, grows slowly and is difficult to process. Just right for the wood experts at Frey-Amon.
Marianne Frey-Amon visits the forests. And that (almost) daily. When it has to do with woods of the highest quality, the boss chooses each trunk personally. Regardless of whether it's in the Weinviertel, France, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania or Croatia.
She circles the trunks step by step until she gets a picture of how the trunk should be used.
Each trunk has particular qualities.
To recognise this is probably the most important step along the Way to Wood.
The trees are felled in winter. Without exception, because only then is the quality suitable.
