Oxford Wood Recycling
First up (but last pic) we've received delivery of 50 pairs of trestle table legs, made for us by another member of the Community Wood Recycling network. These legs measure 72cm high x 55cm wide and cost £25 each.
On top of the load are lots of small hardwood ply sheets, mostly 3-5mm thick, so ideal artists boards. They're priced from £3 each.
Lastly you'll have noticed that lovely T&G in the middle, which has come from some dismantled packing cases. The stuff in the pics looks like southern yellow pine and it's 13cm wide x 2cm thick, for £2/m. There are a couple of other sizes of T&G here, some for £2 and some £3/m.

We're heaving with huge heaps of 18mm ply this afternoon, and as you can see there are a whole range of sizes.
Sheets will be priced according to size, but do let us know if you'd like to take a job lot.

As apparently this large framework used to be a kennel! We think it could easily be reappropriated as a log shed or bike store. We've even got the original cladding which was fixed on the ends.
Elsewhere on the same collection there were a pallet load of picket pales and a nice pair of wooden gates, accompanied by about 8 @ 2.6m strips of 145mm wide larch shiplap cladding.
We'd like £85 for the dog house, £15 each for the gates, £2/m for the shiplap and 75p each for the pales.

The book-matched set of yew are nearly 60cm wide x 1.9m long x 2.5cm thick, while the delightfully scented cherry is approx 1.3m x 40-50cm.
A few early birds are already rummaging through these latest arrivals, so if you see something you fancy don't hesitate to give us a call! You can reach the Wood Shop on 01235 861228 (option 2).

All 2440 x 600mm these are new unused flooring boards, however they've been outdoors on a building site so some may be slightly damp.
