We've had a nice selection of new hardwoods in this morning, including some straight edged stock ideal for shelves, one whopping great ash slab which looks destined to be a desk or table top, and a pair of book matching yew planks shown here in the opening photo, and a trolley full of other off-cuts that might suit woodturning or small furniture items.

All are priced here in store and ready for sale, so do visit if you'd like to admire them properly.
You can also order items over the phone, on 01235861228.

There's a busy pallet wood production line in operation today, so watch out for rogue timbers when you are parking out there.
This product is perfect for indoor and outdoor cladding, and from just £9.60/m² it's also a bit of a bargain considering the work that's involved to get them dismantled and de-nailed.

At 3.4m long we think this kiln dried oak slab has 'bar top' written all over it, though it could easily be cut down to make smaller pieces of furniture.
Width is shown in the pics and thickness is around 3cm.
This is the longest board we've got in stock today and it's definitely a delight to behold 😍 but there are plenty of shorter slices to choose from too...
