Timbers
Wood is a wonderful medium to work in and people just can't help but touch it and admire its beauty. The three woods mentioned are the ones we use most and find they all compliment each other greatly.
Oak
We primarily use oak for lots of reasons including its durability, bending strength, low stiffness and resistance to shock loads. It's a strong dense hardwood. Oak has been a go to wood for hundreds of years and that also plays a part in the history of wood working which connects with us personally.

Ash
Ash is a great timber to work with, it's good for steam bending and is strong and durable just like oak. Ash can be quite white in colour but we find that works well for contrasting with other woods.

Walnut
Walnut is a beautiful wood used for centuries in the finest furniture, it's colour is a chocolate brown to almost black beige, we like to use it for inlays and wedges for our mortise and tenons.
