The beautiful raw material for an Oak framed building! We use only PEFC or FSC certified timber for our projects so that our work's impact on our environment is sustainable. For more information, please go to www.pefc.org or www.fsc-uk.org/en-uk.

With the frame design finalised and approved, the timber for the new project has arrived from the sawmill at our workshop. Each piece is carefully checked for flaws, such as knots, shakes or grain patterns that could compromise the timber's strength. This 'grading' ensures that unsuitable timbers are rejected and replaced by sound ones.

And the only 'waste' left in the process of making an Oak framed structure - together with plenty of tea bags - keeps us warm during the colder days!
