Timber

From purchasing the right material to stringent quality control for exceptional quality oak, hardwoods and softwood, we pride ourselves in timber selection.

Through and through or cut with one square edge, our longest and straightest seasoned logs are allowed to stabilise for two to five years. Many larger oak logs are traditionally quarter sawn. Our timber is air dried before kilning.

We are fully aware of our obligations under the European Union Timber Regulations (EUTR) as a timber importer and fully committed to ensuring the legality and sustainability of our supply base.

Processing/Kilning

Logs are sawn through and through or cut with one square edge and seasoned. Some larger logs, particularly the longest and straightest are set aside to stabilise for 2-5 years. Many of our larger Oak logs are quarter sawn in the traditional way.

Our timber is air dried on site and extreme care is taken to keep species protected from high winds and sun which require slow drying to minimise damage or distortion. Less durable species are stored in our covered areas to retain good colour and we prefer to kiln dry timber that has been air dried first.

AN ON-SITE VACUUM KILNING SERVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR SQUARE EDGED OR WANEY EDGED TIMBER TO MEET MOISTURE CONTENT REQUIREMENTS. WE ALSO OFFER SOFTWOOD KILN DRYING.

Manufacturing

With our own tooling and a highly skilled, fully trained timber tooling facilities team, we are able to offer standard profiles to solutions for the most complex machining challenges, working to fine tolerances and exacting standards.

A wide range of high-tech machinery is on site and we are able to offer same day tooling and manufacturing.

Constructional Timber

Whitmore’s offer a range of construction sizes, particularly in English and Continental Oak, in lengths of up to 50’ making them suitable for churches, country houses and historic property renovation.
