British Oak
English oak has held a very special place in the hearts of craftsmen for hundreds of years. Its strength, resistance to decay and sheer versatility has made sure it is engrained in our national heritage. This fine material has been utilised for many hundreds of years to construct everything from sea-going vessels to fine furniture, wine barrels to buildings. Although oak grows widely across Europe and North America, craftsmen continue to cherish English oak for its beautiful grain and figure which tend to be more decorative and unique than in oak from elsewhere.
