Important news about our opening times

Image
We are now "by appointment only" - this is because we cannot always guarantee that a member of staff will be on site. Please call us on 01327 344550 or call / text mobile 07599 028 604 before starting your journey to avoid disappointment. Most of the time, someone will be available between 8am - 5pm Monday to Friday but please call before setting out.  Thanks!

Ash Cabinet

Image
Here is a pic of a fantastic cabinet made from European ash by Mike. The two drawers are for cutlery and odds and ends, the main surface has an extension that pulls out giving an additional surface area of 2 ft x 6 inches, the five drawers are of various depths and are soft closing. The unit is on casters for ease of movement. Looking good!

Website changes

We have made some changes to our website... more graphics, a better checkout procedure, more accurate delivery prices with more options, and... you can now buy timber - cut to your sizes - straight from our site without having to check with us first. This is the same for worktops and skirting/architrave, no need to check with us first and wait for a reply. Of course please feel free to contact us (01327 344550 or info@goodtimber.com) if you have any queries.

"Hey guys, thanks so much for the lovely timber. This is my 3rd DIY furniture making project and first time I've used your timber. Suffice to say I'm really chuffed with the result and will probably be coming back to you guys for more! Thanks again"

Walnut Worktop

Image
Here is a worktop we have supplied- made from American black walnut. It is 45mm thick, glue jointed from five wide staves, and sanded to a fine finish.  After sanding it was oiled which brings out the richness of the colour as well as protects it.

Lunar Wood

Some Ash we supplied to Smout Allen @ The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL This is a conceptual design project which  focuses on the dynamic relationship between the natural and the man made and how this can be revealed to enhance the experience of the architectural landscape.

A large oak worktop

Image
This worktop is made from wide staves of European Oak , and features a cut-out for a Belfast sink and drainage grooves, all machined here at Good Timber. It is being shipped to our client in Scotland and it is so large the only way to send it is standing on its side on a pallet. It has a specially constructed packing case and will be oil finished by the customer. These guys are glad they've put it down to rest because carrying it out of our workshop was not fun!

Ok it's been turned into a table, but this Zebrano worktop is truly stunning.  Glue jointed by our workshop team from four wide staves and sanded to a fine finish.  Thanks Rob for the photos.
