Or if looking for painted cabinetry, sycamore is a fabulous option as it takes paints and finishes exceptionally well.

OUR FEEDBACK

Sutton Timber was a really fortunate find after starting an online search for “light coloured engineering wood flooring” (I knew I didn’t want oak!). When the sample of ash flooring arrived it immediately exceeded the quality of the other engineering woods……

Used Sutton Timber’s first grade solid English oak in my three reception rooms, two cupboards, hall, stairs, landing and bedroom. My floor fitter said it was the best oak in England and it is hard to believe anything else.
