We exclusively stock solid hardwoods. Hardwoods are the strongest, most durable and aesthetic woods for use in the home, but are the hardest to buy on the high street.
This includes everything from oak and walnut to maple and iroko. Explore the full range here →
All our planks of wood are Kiln Dried and Planed All Round (PAR). This means every piece has a moisture content of 8-12%, so they’re not prone to movement or cracking. They’re planed for a flat and smooth surface. Then cut to your exact size dimensions and square edged, ready for joinery or treatment.
As all planks are Kiln Dried and Planed All Round (PAR), they are designed for internal use or external use. Unlike air dried or green wood, which isn’t dried to a low enough moisture content to ensure it doesn’t move in the ambient temperature of our homes, Kiln Dried is ready for use.
Whether you’re looking for planks to make shelves, perform glue joint joinery or even a chopping board, our boards are ready for use.
Yes. All boards are suitable for exterior use. We’d recommend purchasing a protective treatment, such as danish oil or a strong varnish, which has UV filtering to help protect the wood discolouring from the elements.
Awesome! It depends what you want to build. Assuming you want to start with some simple joinery, such as building tabletops, we’d recommend getting your basic tools and treatments: sash clamps, glues, sanders and oils. It’s useful to have some power tools on hand, namely a handheld planer and a drill.
If you’re not sure where to start, try out our Woodworker Starter Pack, which has everything you need to try your hand at some simple joinery.
