1. Selection of wood

A spruce tree is selected. Attention is paid to its location, ensuring that it has grown straight and has as few branches as possible.

After felling, an initial wood sample is taken by splitting and creating shingles, and the wood is tested for its processing properties. Only then does the shingle maker know whether the trunk is suitable for making shingles.

We source our wood for shingle production from the surrounding forests in the region.

2. Rugel production

The trunk is processed while it is still fresh. So-called "Rugel" are sawn from the trunk. This process ultimately determines the raw length of the wooden shingle.

3. Splitting technique

The sawn "Rugel" is split towards the center. Pieces containing branches are split out and discarded during this process.

The wedge-shaped piece of wood is measured using a gauge and then split further. This process also determines the width of the wooden shingle. The result is the so-called "Mösel." The larger the diameter of the trunk, the more "Mösel" can be split from a single piece.

4. Cutting

The Mösel is further processed and cut to size by hand. The bark is removed and the Mösel is cut to a slightly conical shape. The Mösel without bark are also cut to a slightly conical shape. This makes it easier to split them further later on. The larger the diameter of the trunk, the more "Mösel" can be split from a single piece.

5. Shingle production

By placing the shingle knife precisely and striking it with a wooden mallet, the knife is driven into the "Mösel." By then tilting the sharp shingle knife, the Mösel is halved, quartered, etc., until the pieces become too thin to continue splitting in this manner.

Afterwards, the shingles are split by carefully pulling them apart after driving in the shingle knife until the desired shingle thickness is achieved.

6. Storage

The shingles are bundled for storage and then air-dried for about 2 months.
