KORENA Timber Index

The KORENA Timber Index is a free, daily-refreshed regional reference for hardwood, timber and premium-slab prices across Europe. We collect what the public record already contains — state-forestry auctions, official price lists, statistical bulletins — normalize it to a common €/m³, ex-VAT, delivered-equivalent basis, and publish honest P10 / median / P90 bands per (species, region, stage). No paywall, no login, no marketing fluff: a baseline you can sanity-check a quote against.

It exists because the European hardwood trade runs on opaque, relationship-bound pricing. A sawmill in Romania, a furniture maker in Italy and a slab dealer in Germany rarely see the same number. We can’t fix that — but we can give everyone the same public-record starting point, with the sources and the math shown.

Part of KORENA

The index is a sibling to korena.eu, a piece-level B2B marketplace for premium hardwood slabs where every slab ships with an EUDR-ready passport. The index is deliberately separate and open: it’s useful whether or not you ever buy a slab from us.

Who builds it

KORENA is a brand of Martial Labs Ltd., a company registered in Sofia, Bulgaria. We build the scraping pipeline, the normalization engine and this hub in the open — the full technical specification and source code live on GitLab.

Open-data philosophy

We only ingest data that is already public, we always attribute the source, and we publish aggregates rather than re-host anyone’s raw records. You may republish derived figures from the index with attribution to korena.eu/timber-index. If you build something on top of it, we’d genuinely like to know — open an issue on GitLab.
