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.

We think they can be much better used to make quality furniture, saving tonnes of carbon. Join us this Friday at 11am @ Circular Economy Week London where we'll be talking about our aim to give more trees a second life.

The #UrbanTreeFestival starts next weekend and we're hosting an online event:

Mon 17 May @ 6pm "Giving London's fallen trees a second Life."

Over 5,000 trees are felled in London every year - and most end their lives as firewood. Our business takes these unwanted trees and mills them into quality timber for the city's furniture makers and designers.

Our goal is to give more fallen trees a second life, helping to combat climate change and stimulate a vibrant circular economy which invests back into London's urban forest.

Join us on Zoom to find out more. Get your free tickets and see the full programme @urbantreefest
