Our wood, sourced from sustainable forests and reclaimed timber, possesses a unique charm with its natural imperfections, adding character to our bespoke furniture creations.
We create bespoke furniture using sustainable wood sources. We are lucky to live close to a mill who help source our hardwood from sustainable forestry projects nearby, reducing our carbon footprint – and providing a fantastic product to work with.
The same mill also helps with our softwood sources; however, we also look to reclaim and reuse timber, it often has more character after use. We aim to retain that character in many of our projects and designs. So, wherever possible, we use timber that has outstanding natural beauty – but not at the cost of the local environment, or indeed, our planet.
The wood is thick, sturdy, beautiful and will last – it can also be sanded back and retreated for a fresher or different look in the future.
By the very nature of both the materials we use, and the type of industrial furniture we are producing, our wood could contain all of the following characterful traits:
These traits are naturally expected within each piece and add to to the uniqueness of your piece, but should you want your piece to be reduced from this type of rustic character as much as possible, please make sure to specify a quote for prime oak, or let us know that you need a surface extra flat/smooth etc so that we are able to quote accordingly.
We always endeavour to choose the best wood, however there will still be small knots, varied wood grain and medullary rays, depending on the wood we have in stock.
Waney Edge items are different every time and can have high levels of character. We fix any large natural cracks and large knots with walnut butterfly joints, however these won’t be on every order.
