At the stand of Amsterdamsche Fijnhout you will find unique pieces of wood with beautiful grain, texture and colour. Ideal for wood carving, woodturning, bases, chopping boards and much more. In addition to wood, Japanese pull saws are also available. These produce an exceptionally fine cut, and you are very welcome to try them out.

Amsterdamsche Fijnhouthandel is a family business that has been operating since 1898. Starting as a furniture workshop in the Jordaan district of Amsterdam, it has grown into one of the most specialised timber merchants in the Netherlands. Wood is an extremely versatile material, which attracts a very diverse clientele. From boat builders to artists, and from furniture makers to landscapers: everyone finds their way to Amsterdam.

Amsterdamsche Fijnhout increasingly sources and promotes a wide range of European wood species such as oak, ash and maple. Tropical hardwoods are preferably purchased with FSC certification and are fully traceable to their origin. In addition, old stock of special timber is acquired to ensure new supply without the need for additional logging.

Since 2021, the company has been based in a new facility designed to be as energy-neutral as possible. With the help of 300 solar panels, the sawmill runs on solar energy for most of the year. The forklifts are fully electric. Waste is kept to a minimum by selling even small offcuts or giving them away as samples.

Amsterdamsche Fijnhouthandel sponsors the wood for the tiny house children’s workshop at this Ambacht in Beeld Festival.
