So good to see young people working with wood 🪚

So good to see young people working with wood 🪚🪑👍

This is the Mayfair Youth Forum, creating prototype seating designs for London’s Grosvenor Square, using lime timber we supplied from felled London trees.

It was our first experience working with the wonderful @matt_and_fiona - a social enterprise which gets young people involved in shaping their environment.

The seating was fabricated by @johahor, and the project instigated by @grosvenorsq and @2_3degrees as a pilot for ‘Voice, Opportunity, Power’, a toolkit advocating for young people having a say in the shape of their cities.

We were at the Guildhall last week - and not just hanging around outside😁

We had meetings with people responsible for reducing carbon in construction from City of London, Westminster and their largest building suppliers.

There was a lot of love for what we're trying to do - give the trees they fell a second life as timber for furniture, not firewood.

"Wood Too Good to Burn." Bruce talks about our passion - saving felled London trees and using them for furniture not firewood - in Trees Magazine 🌳🪓🪑🥰🔥😤

"Every year, more than 5,000 trees are felled in London with the vast majority of them ending their lives as firewood or biofuel. It's been that way for as long as most people can remember, but as pressure mounts to reach net zero, I believe we need to do better..."

BOB OAK!

Forget all that mucky buried tat found in farmers fields - this is the real deal. We uncovered this gnarly of log that had been hiding in Bob's yard for at least 5000 years. It's the rarest of rarest, the diamond in the rough, and we'll be selling it for at least £1million kryptothingymajig per cu/ft. PM, DM, or 3M me if interested. Only time wasters need apply.

You've seen it here for the first time folks. Bob Oak!!

Trying to do fine carpentry.. on a saw mill! We had to square up a 80cm dia Plane log to produce some 50x50x50cm cubes. With a lot of faff, fine tuning and some wedges we succeeded..

Beautiful big London Plane in Denmark Hill that unfortunately is being felled due to basal rot which has made it unsafe. However the intrepid Seasonings team is on hand to give this big beauty a 2nd life as furniture boards that will see many more generations to come. There ain't no legacy in woodchip my dears, so if you know of other majestic London trees that are due for the chop (and chip), please get in touch..

A lorry load of beautiful London Plane, from Camden, all from one tall-arse tree.
Followed by our Duncan halving a 1m Oak ready for the woodmizer.
And a small cute boule of London Plane from Wandsworth bridge. We milled this all at 18mm, for a customer who wants the whole log in sequence to be installed across the entire wall as panels. Nothing plane about that we say!

Embracing the wonders of carpentry. Well, the very beginning of it all.
Amazing happy eve shared with my adored friend @vivianamuzi at the wonderful @blackhorsews with the amazing @chrisfrench13 making wonderful planters with timber sourced from trees, which are to be taken down across the UK, by Bruce at @saundersseasoningshardwoods. That's, my friends is sustainability for you!

Sadly this is where most felled trees in London end up... as firewood or biofuel.
