Please note:

1. The photos above and shown static below   have been scaled down for the web and cannot reveal the true beauty of the wood.
2. Wood is a natural product each piece is unique
   - nobody else can own a mantel shelf exactly like yours.
3. Transport costs are a major element in the price since these are large and heavy items; but local deliveries can be done free.
4. Normally only the top and front flat surfaces are hand finished to a high standard, using 4 coats of Danish oil, with sanding down between each application.

Timber is one of the most ecologically friendly building materials available. When wood is growing, huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are absorbed by day, and clean oxygen released overnight. The carbon dioxide remains 'locked up' in the timber until it is burned or returns to the natural cycle. Our timber is grown locally in Scotland reducing our carbon footprint. The use of timber stimulates the forestry trade which responds by planting more trees.
