From Timber To Table

The journey of our reclaimed wood

Discover the journey of your new reclaimed wood furniture — how each piece is made, and what we do to keep the process sustainable and fair at every stage.

01 — Sourcing

It all starts with the wood

Most of our timber starts out as humble shipping pallets — sturdy, hard-working wood that's already served a life moving goods from place to place. Now and then a piece arrives with an even older story to tell, reclaimed from railway sleepers or the beams of dismantled buildings. Whatever its past, each individual timber carries a character all of its own.

Checked for its next life

Each piece of wood is quality checked to make sure it's suitable for its new life as part of your home. Inspected for signs of its previous life, any nails or screws are expertly removed before moving on to the next stages of the process.

03 — Cut & Sand

Cut to size, sanded smooth

The wood is cut to size using industry machinery for precision, then sanded to a smooth finish ready to be shaped. Offcuts are used to fuel kilns and boilers, and unlike mass production lines, our hands-on approach means quality checking at every stage — adding to the durability of our products.

Taking shape by hand

Using traditional carpentry methods, the reclaimed wood starts to take its new form — a dining table, bed frame, coffee table or sideboard. Details such as panelling are carefully bonded or nailed to the body of the piece, then edges and fine details are sanded and refined, ready for finishing.

Stains and varnishes, applied by hand

Each collection features a different finish, from elegant whitewash paint to a natural water-based coating — every one achieved by hand for a high-quality look and a long-lasting lifespan. As the finish sets, the reclaimed timber's unique markings, grain and knots are enhanced and highlighted as part of the design.

Finished with time and care

Each piece receives that extra time and care from its creator, giving it a charming, rustic appeal. In the final stages, every piece is carefully packaged ready for our UK warehouses. We only ever ship in high quantities at a time to ensure fewer trips — and lower carbon emissions.
