Oxford Wood Recycling
We're pleased more people are thinking about who they are buying from these days and how they give back to their community and our environment.
I haven't weighed these bags but they must be 15+ kgs each, and as your can see from the label they're £7/sack or 3 for £20.
We're closed now for the evening, but during business hours you can call 01235 861228 to buy or reserve. Or simply be here first thing tomorrow to snap them up!

Anyone fancy a stack of sturdy fence panels? Or a set of hefty driveway gates?
The ledge and brace gates each measure 150cm wide x 175cm high and come with a drop bolt and latch but no hinges. Made from treated timber they are well weathered but still in good condition, £150 the pair.
Fence panels are 3m x 170cm, looking pretty grubby but the timber is perfectly sound. There are 9 in this load for £18 each.
Visit if you'd like to view, or call 01235861228 to buy by phone.

We try to make sure that the sizes prepared will cater for a wide range of projects, so there are smaller chunks for turning blanks, chopping boards and pyrography, up to coffee table/desk tops and 1m - 2.4m shelving in a range of widths.
We also stock finishing oils from OSMO, a range of shelving brackets, and UK made hairpin legs, to help you complement this beautiful timber.
