The Amsterdamsche Fijnhouthandel  is a family business that has been around since 1898. Starting as a furniture workshop in the Jordaan district, it has grown into one of the most specialized timber merchants in the Netherlands. Wood is an incredibly versatile product, attracting a diverse clientele from boat builders to artists, from furniture makers to gardeners everyone knows how to find their way to Amsterdam.

Amsterdamsche Fijnhout increasingly buys and promotes various European wood species such as oak, ash, and maple. Tropical woods are preferably purchased with an FSC certification and are always traceable to their source. Additionally, old stocks of special wood are acquired, ensuring new supplies without the need for cutting new trees.

Since 2021, the company has been located in a new facility designed to be as energy-neutral as possible. With the help of 300 solar panels, the sawmill runs mostly on solar energy throughout the year. The forklifts are fully electric. Waste is minimized by selling or giving away even the smallest pieces of wood as samples.

For Ambacht in Beeld, Amsterdamsche Fijnhouthandel is sponsoring the wood for the tiny house children’s workshop.
