Because we only use trees that are storm damaged we
are
limited to the amount of timber we produce in any one year and therefore
are limited to the number and size of commission pieces undertaken each
year.
If you would like to commission a piece of furniture to be made from timber grown in Sherwood Forest please don't hesitate to contact us either by email or telephone +44 (0) 1623 794406 and we will be pleased to discuss your requirements.
Exciting news............
We have recently been contacted by a couple of estate managers within Nottinghamshire who are removing various trees (Oak, Sycamore, Holly, Yew, Beech) in their current woodland management project.
We have agreed to purchase some of these trees that would otherwise have been sent for firewood.
They will be milled and dried in the same way as our other trees and be available for use in furniture commissions from 2013.
Latest commissioned piece:
Commissioned as a reception hall piece in an arts & crafts styled house this piece was made in English Oak and coloured to match panelling in the hallway. The table is 18 inches high with a 24 inch diameter top, the cut outs on the legs match the spindles of the staircase.
I milled a yew tree for a client last July (2011) that had been felled several years before and so was fairly dry. Two of the boards were put in to the kiln straight away so that a step stool could be made to be given as a christmas present in December 2011.
The photos below show the finished piece:
Finished with a beeswax polish.
Overall size: 14" wide x 9" deep x 10" high
The rest of the milled tree will be used to make a planked kitchen/dining table towards the end of 2012 or beginning of 2013.
Finished with a beeswax polish.
