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?
