Oxford Wood Recycling
Chris here is polishing an amazing psychedelic board, this board is made from tens of hours of work and really is quite a feature piece of beauty and discussion.
We have many different types of wooden chopping boards in different sizes and shapes.
These pictures show you a sample of what we have available for you to look through - what a great Christmas present they would make.
Don't forget that if you see a larger piece of hard wood that you would like to make into a chopping board, then we can also cut it to size for you.
They are all individually priced, based on the wood type and time it has taken to make.
We have all different species and sizes available and are able to 'finish pieces off' for you if you want a certain look. We source our hardwoods as locally as possible, so most are from within a 30 mile radius from our South Abingdon shop.
We can cut the larger live edge pieces to that size that you want and will only change you for the piece that you take (as long as there is 40cm or more of the wood left).
Pop in to see for yourself what we have.
Milk stool is £10,
Great condition Birch table and set of chairs are £250
Desk is £40 or £50 depending on the desk that you choose
Over tables ranging from £40 upwards
You really need to pop in and take a look (also check out whats available in the room by our office), because there are more then I can list!
What a fab picture Phil painted and what a worthy message.
It was to raise awareness of how important soil is and how if we regenerated our soils and took better care, then we would be making huge steps towards reducing food production issues, reducing the temperature rise and retain carbon that captured and retained in good quality soil.
Every little thing that we all do makes a difference.
We will have Ash logs from mid week and kindling probably next week
We have the dark wood Pew (Littlemore church and it is £275). Dimensions 2540x460x820.
The light wood Pew is £175 and is from Reading, its dimensions are 2150x500x 790 high. We have a variety of different lengths of the lighter coloured Pew, so email us if you have questions.
