This isn’t just an Ash board. It’s over a century of growth, resilience and woodland history.

Long before it became a usable piece of timber, this tree stood through some of the most significant moments in modern history. Each year it recorded every season in its growth rings, creating a story that can still be read today.

Standing beside a board like this is a reminder that timber is one of the few materials that carries its own history within it. No two pieces are ever the same.

We’re making room in the racks and have added a range of timber to our sale stock, giving you the chance to pick up some excellent boards at reduced prices.

There’s 2 things to know about us:
1. We strive to stock the best quality timber we can find.
2. We don’t like beautiful timber sitting on our racks, not seeing its full potential!

So, to keep true on both of those statements, we are filling up the sale section on our website for you to grab yourself a bargain and make these boards into something that is enjoyed for years to come.

Our beam resaw is one of the hardest-working machines in the yard, helping us turn large timber sections into exactly what our customers need.

Whether we’re cutting structural beams to size or producing feather edge boards for fencing and cladding, the resaw allows us to process timber accurately and efficiently while making the most of every piece.

Here, Nick takes you through this machine and what it’s capable of.

From the foundations to the final peg, it’s been great watching this project come together.

Dan has been building our new structural sales office in the beam yard using the very same timber kit system we supply to our customers. Every component is precision cut, clearly labelled, and supplied with all the oak pegs needed, making assembly as straightforward as possible.

Through sunshine, downpours, and everything in between, each stage has shown just how satisfying it is to see an oak frame take shape.

Whether you’re planning a garden room, garage, workshop, or something much bigger, our structural timber kits are designed to make the build process simpler without compromising on quality.

At English Woodlands Timber, we’re proud to support projects that bring people together. When Midhurst Town Council began transforming the neglected Curfew Garden, we were pleased to help. We donated oak posts for its new garden shelter.

In just 12 weeks, volunteers, local businesses and community organisations transformed the unused space behind the Old Library. They turned it into a welcoming, accessible garden for everyone to enjoy.

From woodland to workshop, our fresh sawn French oak beams are cut to your exact specification, ready for everything from traditional timber framing to bespoke construction projects. Every beam showcases the natural character, strength and beauty that only Oak can provide.

With August approaching, the last lorries are filling up before the annual French sawmill shutdown, so now is the time to secure your spot if you're planning a project for late summer or autumn. Availability and lead times can become tighter during this period, so don't leave it too late.

Still thinking about our Open Woods & Workshops event from a couple of weeks ago.

Seeing so many people exploring the woodland, chatting timber, engaging in the panels and sharing a genuine interest in the material made all the hard work worth it.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a great day. We are already looking forward to the next one.
