From humble beginnings...

Our new beached timber range is proving to be the Lemon Drizzle of all finishes!

Our new beached timber range is proving to be the Lemon Drizzle of all finishes: everybody wants a piece!

These beauties start life as a pile of reclaimed fir (pictured above) that's salvaged from old buildings. It gives us a lovely, lived-in wood that's full of character.

Having spent the last 100 years or so collecting moisture, the wood is first dried at 60°C for several days. Then it's shaped, sealed, sanded, rubbed with grey paint, scoured and sand-blasted to achieve a beautiful 'beached' effect.

So there you have it. Hundreds of years, hours of love and one pretty cracking finish. Enjoy!

Love,
