Oxford Wood Recycling
Old favourites such as oak, sycamore and sweet chestnut are in attendance, but we've also a guest appearance from two much rarer species, namely rippled English Walnut and Wild Service Tree.

In the opening pic we have some amazingly wide planks of larch, which we've picked up from a musical instrument maker in Oxford.
Then you'll see an interesting selection of beech wood furniture feet, yours for just £8 per set of 4.
Lastly we have a 'last few remaining' of some afrormosia specimen drawers that we collected last year from the Oxford Natural History museum!
All these and more are currently on display in our store, so make tracks in this direction if you'd like to check them out!
You can also contact the shop by calling 01235 861228 (option 2) and we'll do our best to answer any questions.
