Sometimes the journey to finished joinery starts long before the timber reaches the workshop. This one began in a Norfolk field, after high winds brought down an oak estimated to be around 250 to 300 years old.
After surveying the logs, checking the timber quality, and agreeing on a purchase price, the 7 ft Alaskan mill was brought in, and the tree was milled on site before travelling back to HQ. Some slabs will be kiln-dried for furniture and future projects, while green oak will be used for timber framing. Even the scabs will be dried and stored for firewood, keeping waste to a minimum.
From a tree that stood for centuries to timber ready for a new purpose, with plenty of sawdust along the way.
