Our green promise

All our products - hardwoods and softwoods - are from sustainable sources and we use reclaimed wood where we can. At our woodworking shop we use non-toxic products such as varnishes and glues and we use green electricity suppliers. We dispose of all our waste responsibly, recycling all that we can.

'Tree to table' service

We are currently using a lumber yard in Calne where the estate manager knows all of his trees individually. We call him with specifications for a job and he will advise on which tree will suit our purposes. He'll even take you to the forest to pick out the tree of your choice from which we'll make your furniture before he fells it. Then he'll replant the tree.
