Process

The process of making starts with the relationship that we have forged with our timber suppliers who understand our very exacting requirements. This will involve discussion at the time of processing a tree trunk (butt) as to how it should be planked (the angle of the cut) and of the various thicknesses that we may require. This conversation then leads to a 3-5 year wait for these planks to air dry, before eventually being kiln dried, prior to delivery to the workshop.

In acknowledgement of the preciousness of this resource, which may have been growing for over 150 years, we endeavour to keep wastage to an absolute minimum, and are always seeking ingenious way to use off-cuts not used in the main making process.
