Shetland Timber

We started to use local Shetland timber in some of our pieces. Last month we bought some timber from the plantation at Kergord. The largest log has been planked and stacked to air dry before we can use it for furniture. This is our first experiment with planking and drying local timber for furniture making. The timber will have to air dry for up to 2 years before being kiln dried for several months. Anybody interested in furniture made from Shetland Timber?

Up to date!

For the first time since i started my business we have finished all the jobs before the holidays, the workshop is tidy and the tools are all sharp. We also have work to come back to in the new year. It's a strange feeling not being in a rush to get everything finished. Hopefully that means we will have a relaxing holiday. First job in the new year is to fix our leaking roof so we're praying for some calm dry weather!

Boardroom table installed at last!

Last year we were commissioned to made a boardroom table and 20 chairs for a client in Shetland. It was going in the office which were due to be finished last year. We were really excited about the design and couldn't wait to get some pictures of the project once it was finished. Because of a lots of different reasons the build was delayed, but this week we got "The phone call" to go and help move the furniture into the boardroom. More pictures will be up of the boardroom soon, but this one will have to do to wet you appetite.
