Why not let us do the work for you?

Sawing
In addition to selecting and grading timbers to your cutting list we are able to offer a full bespoke cutting service. Our skilled machinists are able to cut boards to your required sizes to help you achieve your final objective with minimum effort.

Cross-cutting
If sawing just isn’t enough then we can also cross-cut boards to your finished dimensions to assist you with the final fitting.

Milling of logs
Logs are sawn through and through or cut with one square edge, and then seasoned. Some of the larger logs, especially the longest and the straightest, are set aside to stabilise for two to five years. Many of our larger Oak logs are quarter sawn in the traditional way.
