Oxford Wood Recycling

Hi there, this is Alistair. I'm part of the Wood Shop team. Although our store is closed at the moment, that needn't stop us sharing information about wood online.

Since trees and timber are my specialist interest I'd like to share some info on different species and look at the wood which comes from them, drawing on the extensive collection of samples I have here at home.

I live in the Chiltern Hills where beech woods and conifer plantations both exist in abundance. Indeed some of the hardwoods we stock come from my local area.
Here are some of the lovely trees which grow in my neck of the woods.

What trees can you see from where you live? Or which do you encounter when out for your daily exercise?
If you have pics of notable or interesting trees that are local to you, then why not share them with us in the comments below.
Any that you can't identify could be a good topic for us to investigate in a future post.

Later we will look in detail at some of the trees seen in this post and I will show you some projects I've completed using those species.

In these times of closure, we want to continue to interact with you. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing information about our plans during the lockdown and we will also help you stay entertained at home with all things wood.

We will discuss topics like the best tools to use for DIY projects, furniture design ideas and types of wood, among others. In our first post of the series, Alistair from the Wood Shop Team will be discussing tree species and the types of wood that come from them. Stay tuned this afternoon! 😃

Apologies all for the mixed messages, but I've just been informed that Oxford Wood Recycling and the Wood Shop will now be closed from tomorrow, as a precaution to protect staff and you the public.

As a non-essential business we feel it is the responsible thing to do.

When the situation changes we will let you know. In the meantime please avoid unnecessary journeys and stay safe.
