Kiln-dried timber blanks · S4S · custom cut list
What does HTC Wood do for your project?
HTC Wood supplies kiln-dried solid timber blanks (10–12% moisture content) and custom-sized sheet panels tailored for CNC and furniture manufacturing. We stock leading commercial species including American Oak, Ash, Walnut, Teak, Doussie (Gõ đỏ), and export-grade Rubberwood. Send us your cutting list (L x W x T); our team will select clear color, cull dead knots, S4S plane 4 sides, and deliver blanks ready for immediate machining.
Best suited for your project when: Furniture workshops wanting pre-dimensioned, pre-planed blanks to feed directly into lathes or CNC routers without sawing and planing overhead. Export-oriented projects requiring certified kiln-dried timber (10–12% MC) free of woodborers with verified dimensional stability. Clients seeking a turn-key solution combining material supply and CNC processing under one roof to minimize logistics costs.
Practical workshop notes before ordering: Natural wood exhibits grain and tone variations; our yard sorts timber into consistent color-matched batches prior to shipment. Moisture is verified with digital meters at 10–12%; store blanks in well-ventilated covered areas away from direct ground dampness. Blanks destined for CNC routing should include 5–10mm holding allowance on dimensions for secure vacuum or mechanical clamping.

Technical Capabilities & Practical Machining Solutions
Specifying kiln-dried timber blanks (10-12% MC) for CNC machining
Industrial steam kiln drying releases internal timber stresses and prevents movement during cutting and long-term use:
Diverse imported and domestic timber species: Permanent stock of American Oak, Ash, Walnut, Teak, African Doussie, and export-grade plantation Rubberwood.
Digital moisture meter verification: 10–12% core moisture content certified with digital pin meters before dispatch, stored in sheltered dry warehouses.
Grain sorting & Defect culling: Batches are hand-sorted for uniform tone, removing loose dead knots and end checking before final sizing.
S4S 4-sided planing, custom cut lists & direct factory delivery
Save labor, workshop floor space, and equipment wear with HTC Wood’s all-in-one timber preparation services:
4-side precision planing (S4S): Blanks are planed square and true on all 4 sides with clean faces, ready to clamp directly onto your CNC beds.
Square cross-cutting to cut list: Precision cross-cutting squares ends at 90°, discarding checks and bundling sticks neatly by size codes for quick inventory.
Direct delivery across Binh Duong & HCMC: Our dedicated fleet delivers safely to your shop door across southern Vietnam, supporting caliper and moisture checks at offloading.
Inputs Needed, 4-Step Process & Quotation Basis
To save your time, HTC Wood technicians can review files and quote within 1-2 hours. Here is how to prepare your data and our streamlined workshop process.
1. Simple Inputs You Need to Send
1. Dimension cut list: Provide your detailed cutting schedule: Length x Width x Thickness (mm) and piece count per specification.
2. Species & Appearance grading: Specify wood species (oak, ash, walnut, rubberwood) and surface grade (Grade A clear, Grade AB allowing small sound knots).
3. Prep requirements & Delivery point: State whether you need rough-sawn timber or S4S planed blanks with squared ends, plus delivery destination.
2. 4 Steps from File Approval to Delivery
Step 1: Review cut list & Fast quotation: We calculate material yield, check local warehouse stock in Binh Duong, and provide an all-inclusive quote within an hour.
Step 2: Timber selection, drying & S4S planing: Graders cull unsound pieces, check moisture (10-12%), and run timber through precision multi-head planers for smooth square edges.
Step 3: Precision cross-cutting & Bundle sorting: End defects are cross-cut square at 90 degrees to exact finished lengths, then strapped and tagged by size code.
Step 4: Truck loading & Direct delivery: Our logistics fleet transports bundles directly to your door across southern Vietnam, welcoming caliper verification upon arrival.
3. How is Machining Pricing Calculated?
Species and grading tier: Premium imported hardwoods (American Walnut, White Oak) command higher prices than domestic plantation timbers (rubberwood, acacia, pine).
Large dimensions and timber yield: Wide boards (>200mm) or thick timbers (>60-80mm) require larger solid flitches, carrying higher raw material and drying cost.
Order volume and pre-machining scope: Bulk volume orders (m3 or truckloads) enjoy discounted pricing; rough-sawn lumber costs less than fully S4S planed timber.
Note: Official quotations, delivery schedules, and prototype fees are confirmed transparently in writing upon reviewing actual dimensions and material specs.
Quality Inspection Checklist & FAQs
Quality Inspection Checklist upon Delivery:
- • Verified species and origin: Authentic wood grain matching the ordered species without mixed low-grade substitutions.
- • Verified moisture content: Deep core pin-probe tests read strictly within 10–12% MC without mold or borers.
- • Dimensional accuracy: Width, thickness, and length match the agreed cutting schedule with safe allowances.
- • Defect grading: Blanks are free of loose dead knots, end checks, and bark inclusions.
Quick Answers to Common Client Questions:
Does 10-12% moisture guarantee that the wood will never warp or crack?
10–12% MC is the international standard for interior furniture. Our lumber is treated in steam kilns that relieve internal tension, then normalized in sheltered storage. This minimizes seasonal movement or checking during cutting and spray finishing.
Can I purchase timber and have HTC Wood perform all CNC machining in one place?
That is HTC Wood’s biggest competitive advantage! With our turn-key "Material + CNC Machining" model, you skip managing multiple vendors, save intermediate freight, and get 100% single-source accountability from raw lumber to final components.
