Oxford Wood Recycling
First up, a pile of stylish, enchanted silver birch poles. They were first used during a London fashion show, then had a second life recreating Narnia at the Oxford Story Museum and now await your inspiration for £3 each.
Also aboard are some gorgeous lengths of pitch pine panelling, all 1.8m strips for £2.50/m (£23.75/m²).
A boardroom table is not our usual fare. £50 ono as we're keen to clear it.
Just 3 beech bar stools, £20 each.
There are also two large but cupped beech desktop/worktops, lots of beech strips from dismantled furniture, some large bits of bamboo, a glazed hardwood door and lots of other treasures!
Call in to see more!

The case bases would make a decent shed or playhouse foundation, whilst the panels look like ready made walls for your garden bar or allotment compost bins.
Delivery is available on all items pictured, but most of them cannot be cut to size.
Pop in to see if they float your boat or email info@owr.org.uk to order from home, and please make sure to include a phone number so we can contact you.

Plus sycamore, elm, field maple and spalted birch have also been added to the stock this week.
Yesterday we also topped up the boxes of hardwood off-cuts, so from bench slats and stripy chopping boards to furniture repairs and carving blocks, we've got a great range of smaller pieces in a variety of species.
All the planks in this post are now available to view in store, or you can enquire about stock and sizes from your sofa by emailing info@owr.org.uk
