Combining the best of traditional and modern woodworking methods, we machine all our posts, tie beams, eve plates, top plates, sole plates, studwork and knee braces out of selected oak. As standard practice, we use traditional mortice-and-tenon joints, making a construction far superior to many others. We also utilise natural bends in the timber to give the wind and roof braces and the tie beams exceptional rigidity and resilience to the effects of weathering and time. Scalloped arches are used behind traditional, handmade ledge-and-braced oak or iroko doors, which are finished using handmade rosehead nails. This looks beautiful and will last generations.
