About the Business
Timber is a natural material which is a true renewable resource. It is probably the most versatile material known to man. It has a high strength to weight ratio and good thermal properties. It can be sawn, riven, machined, drilled, carved and turned. Generally, it is easily glued. Sawing across or along the grain will expose differently pleasing features of the same species. Timber can be finished by sawing, planing, or sanding and polishing, painted, oiled or varnished, any of which can enhance the natural product in different ways. Timber can be naturally preserved by drying, but if the species is susceptible to rotting as some narrow leafed species can be, it can be preserved by pressure impregnation of chemicals.
There is a true satisfaction to skilled tradesmen, the DIY expert and the hobbyist alike in using wood as a material to create something beautiful. It is tactile, and generally no two pieces are the same.
