Kiln dried 'live edge' wood slabs
I use various species of timber for different projects at hand. I push to get what my clients want for their custom built tables. In Scotland, some species are harder to source than others as any timber I use, is kiln dried to make the moisture content of the wood suitable for making interior furniture.
Some types of timber are more regularly available to me and are great for making table tops. A favorite being oak, which is strong, durable and has been used for both interior and exterior applications for centuries.
Another favorite is yew, it has a variety of colour and lovely figurative wood grain. Like the oak, it also is strong and can add an interesting touch to your home or workspace.
Specialist timber such as oak with burrs, can be at an additional cost as it is a rarity in comparison to typical oak live edge slabs. An ordinery oak wood grain can often be more appealing and preferable with its contemporary figure and colour tones.
Many other species are stocked by my local suppliers including elm, beech, horse chestnut and a variety of others. Stock levels vary throughout the year.
Whichever species of wood you might be looking for, I am always willing to help find it. Just let me know what you would like and I will do my best to source it for you.
All of the wood I use is subject to availability upon request by my suppliers.
Where I purchase wood
When purchasing wood for any of my projects, it is important to me and the enviroment, that it is bought from legitamate licenced sellers who sustainably fell trees or use already fallen trees to produce their kiln dried selection.
Most of the wood I use is from but not limited to Central Scotland which is where I live. This reduces job time, road congesgion and allows me to be more familliarised with the materials I use and helps my business relations with the suppliers.
Two of the main places I use are 'The Wood Place (Lanarkshire Hardwoods)' and 'Scottish Wood' in Fife, Central Scotland.
The Wood Place is where I go to get specialist and sometimes unusual timbers of high quallity. Most of the wood sold there has been from fallen trees within a 50 mile radius of The Wood Place. Most of the kiln dried character hardwood I use for the resin tables is from The Wood Place where the quality and detail of the timber products are outstanding. Every board has been milled on site, air dried and then kiln dried to the perfect moisture level required for resin projects and other interior uses. There is a walk in shop on site which is definately worth a visit and has a website listing much of the stock for sale in great detail. I have added a link to The Wood Place below.
Scottish Wood is another supplier I purchase from regularly. They stock most types of native hardwoods and they have involvement with charity and involved with the sustainability of woodlands.
The epoxy resin and pigments I use
Epoxy resin is an oil based product I use to add to my tables to form the 'river'. There are many colour varients that I can use with it to give beautiful tones. Allot of these colour and texture additives are listed at the bottom of the page in the colour chart I have put together for clients to look at, compare, colour match or just simply choose for their own table to be made. I sometimes mix the colours to achieve unique results.
I also use epoxy resin to structurally strengthen wood or seal porous areas. It is an encredibly strong material once cured and comes in many forms in different industries today.
The resin is not harmful to people, animals or the enviroment once cured and is not classed as a flamible material even in liquid form before curing.
Although the epoxy resin is oil based, I am not using it for disposable products that enevitably end up polluting the enviroment. I am using it for creating, protecting and preserving some of natures finest wood as an artistic piece of furniture that will last a long time.
The resin I use is obtained from either 'Eli-Chem,' 'Easy Composites' or 'GlassCast' which are reputable companies within the UK and have certified and safe to use products. All of the colour pigments used are non hazardous and safe.
Product safety data documentation can be viewed online following the useful links I have added at the bottom of the colour chart below.
