Solid timber
carcasses provide you with a long term investment that will not swell, flake
or peel at the sight of water and will stand the test of time. Solid timber
accepts knocks and bumps of everyday life and does not chip to reveal a
economy base material.
The large range
of native and temperate timbers gives you solutions for all your color and
figure requirements. Some unusual timbers like the colored birch in the
kitchen above can also be obtained to special order.
This service
can only be provided as I have the knowledge and facilities to search out
the right trees and process them through from standing or windfall to drying
and the finished product.
Specialist inlay
and veneer work can also be incorporated furthering the decorative possibilities.
