West African Wood (WAW) is headquartered in Washington, DC and maintains an operational office in the Central African city of Douala, Cameroon. WAW markets and sells quality hard woods from Central and West Africa throughout the world. Our corporate goal is to provide our customer's hard wood product requirements in the most efficient and timely manner possible. We realize the competitive nature of our industry and therefore attempt to be as cost conscious as possible. Our African office controls all aspects of our operations to include: "hand picking" our logs; the preparation of our products; and the facilitation of shipping products to our customers. Our qualified staffs in both the United States and Africa have more than 40 years of combined experience selling African hard woods. Our staff's experience covers all aspects of the wood production process from harvesting to final shipment from Douala Port. We never lose sight of the strict ecological standards and environmental regulations (sustainability) that must be observed. We closely monitor the delicate balance that must be maintained between harvesting our precious forests and preserving these unique woods for future generations. Worldwide there are numerous species of wood with varying characteristics and densities, but only select locations throughout the world such as Central and West Africa do we find sources of exotic hard woods. These unique hard wood species grow abundantly here due to the "special" climatic and soil characteristics found in relative few places throughout the world. It is from these special hard wood forests that our customers' wood is harvested providing them with logs, sawn timber, sleepers, pallets, posts, plywood and the truly beautiful exotic woods needed to manufacture fine furniture, cabinets, flooring, railroad ties, sleepers, stairs, carpentry, house framing, posts, stakes, bridges, parquet and numerous other. As we service our many customers the key to our success has been
