Oxford Wood Recycling
It might seem a travesty to cut such large boards into shorter sections, but don't be afraid to mention it. These were the only length available, but we're happy to sell you just what you need {subject to a minimum off-cut of 50cm or the width of the plank, whichever is greater}.
Likewise the very long slices of ash in the 3rd pic can also be trimmed. Just ask our staff for assistance.

There are about 20 pieces here, all 3+m long, so a good alternative to scaffold planks if you are making raised beds.
Spotted something in our posts but don't have time to visit? Then call 01235861228 (option 2) and you can buy by phone.

All these big beams are in the last bay on the right beside the new pallet wood racks, with the £/m marked on individual sizes.
Many of these chunks are fairly heavy, so make sure to ask our staff to help move them if you aren't certain of your strength. We can also deliver locally so don't worry if you haven't got a roof rack.

Pretty much all of these pieces are pre sanded to some extent, with the largest lumps of yew and elm being silkily smooth.
In the last pic you can see a sack full of black walnut off-cuts, most of which have a bit of ripple figure about them. These would be perfect for pen turning it joining to make a beautiful chopping board.

Oh wait, 🙄 did I say that out loud 🤦
Anyway, there's a lovely new plank of yew that's captivated me this morning, flanked by a chorus of cherry and a small accompaniment of ash.
I know it can be rather chilly ❄️ in the shop, but we do have the heating on 🔥
