Legal timber, complete paperwork, kiln-dried to standard
Good woodwork starts with timber that is legal and dry enough. WisutWood is a real solid wood factory in Surat Thani, in business for 34+ years. We look after where the timber comes from, the documents it travels with, and its moisture content before production — so your project keeps moving.
1 · Legal timber
Complete timber paperwork, so transport and handover go smoothly
Sawn timber moving to a site should carry documents showing where it came from. A project using timber without paperwork risks being stopped for inspection on the road, and the schedule slipping. As a real factory, WisutWood can issue these documents.
- Sawn timber certificateStates the species, sizes and quantity of sawn timber leaving the factory.
- Movement permitAccompanies the timber while it is moved to your site.
- Certificate of timber originConfirms where the timber came from, for projects that require it.
Which documents we can issue depends on the species and the items ordered — tell us what you need when you ask for a quotation.
2 · Kiln drying to standard
Moisture content no higher than 12% before production
Green timber holds a lot of water in the grain. As that water leaves, the wood shrinks, warps and cracks — gaps open in a floor, a door stops closing cleanly, joints work loose. So we kiln-dry our timber to no more than 12% moisture (12–15% is acceptable depending on the job) and check it again before it goes into production.
- Moisture standard
- ≤ 12%
- Acceptable, depending on the job
- 12–15%
Kiln-dried timber costs more than ordinary timber, but far less than tearing out and redoing the work after handover.

Is WisutWood timber legal and properly documented?
WisutWood is a licensed timber processing factory and can issue sawn timber control documents, transport permits and certificates of timber origin, so moving timber and handing over project work runs into no paperwork problems. You are welcome to see the documents before placing an order.
What moisture content should timber be kiln dried to?
Our standard is a moisture content of no more than 12% (12–15% is acceptable depending on the type of work). Timber that is dry enough shrinks, warps and splits far less after installation.
Why does kiln-dried timber cost more than ordinary timber?
Kiln drying adds time and cost, and some of the timber is rejected when it warps during drying. In return it reduces gaps, warped panels and remedial work after handover, which usually costs more than the difference in the timber price.
