Europes’s finest logs for clean straight grained joinery
For joinery customers who are looking for long lengths of oak, we source trees standing in the private forests of northern Europe. Here we can buy a veneer and first quality log that produces a superb quality board which we then air-dry for three years, ensuring that the structure of the board is not damaged by pre kilning.

Solid doors complement any home whether contemporary or period. An alternative hardwood for interior doors is elm. Differing grades of elm are available from character to prime. We select the grade to complement the style of the room where it will be fitted. Elm is a very popular choice in barn conversions, cottages and farmhouses where a more characterful door is well suited.
Using any hardwood timber for a staircase adds that additional design element to a space. Revered by architects and engineers not only for its strength and architectural attraction using oak, ash, elm or cherry for staircases offers a range of design opportunities Combined with modern materials for a contemporary look or used in the more traditional way it adds the wow factor.
Seen here, this innovative stair was constructed using a combination of digital fabrication and traditional boat building methods. First modelled digitally and ‘unravelled’ so that it could be CNC cut as a two-dimensional shape. The first two treads were built up from several layers of ash. The remainder are all from solid ash boards which have been separated by gaps.
