WOODS
We only use timber from sustainable sources, including a wide variety of imported and native soft and hardwoods. Below are descriptions of some of the species we use most commonly.
| Ash | Used in light-coloured furniture. Golden-yellow colour under finish. Renowned for being tough and resilient. Stands up well to the everyday environment. Used for tables, work surfaces. Can contain some spalting. |
| Beech | Ranges in colour from pale brown to light reddish brown. Strong, versatile and wear-resistant, with good bending properties. |
| Birch | Ideal for contemporary interiors; has good uniformity, is light and takes stains very well. |
| Boxwood | Only available in small pieces. Comes from bush not a tree and is used for inlays and stringing. Camel brown in colour with a very natural look. |
| Cherry | Fruitwood with a warm, rich colour. Used for more specialised crafted furniture and decorative work. |
| Elm | Dense with highly attractive grain. Used in furniture making and carving. |
