Yes, we can machine to a minimum thickness of 10mm. To order online, select the 19mm thickness and indicate your custom thickness at the end of the order process. For complex cutting lists, please Contact Us.

What lengths will be supplied?
Orders of more than 2 metres of any single size will be supplied in random lengths. These random lengths will typically be between 2.4 metres to 3 metres. However, there may be some shorter lengths supplied due to stock availability at the time of machining.
Can I order set lengths?
As the raw timber we machine from is in random lengths, it is extremely difficult for us to produce orders in set lengths. If you need to achieve specific cuts from the timber we supply, please Contact Us with your cutting list and we would be happy to advise.
Is your timber FSC certified?
All the raw timber we use is sustainably sourced from sawmills that are either FSC or PEFC certified.
Where does your timber come from?
Our American Ash is sustainably sourced from the very best sawmills in the USA.

How much is delivery?
The delivery charge depends on the total weight of the goods ordered and the delivery location. To calculate the delivery charge:
- Put all the goods you require into your shopping cart.
- Go to the shopping cart.
- Type your full delivery postcode in the 'Calculate Shipping' box and our website will calculate the accurate shipping charge for you.
Do you offer free delivery over a certain amount?
We feel that it is fairer and more honest to display delivery costs separately, rather than 'hide' them within the cost of our timber products. Transporting long lengths of timber around the UK is costly. The shipping price shown in the cart is the direct charge from the independent couriers we use.
Can I collect from your premises?
Yes – choose the “Customer Collect” option when placing your order. As soon your order is ready, we will contact you to let you know.
We use numerous ways to deliver our hardwood products all around the UK mainland. This includes delivery by our own vehicle (within a limited delivery scope), and also the use of independent couriers. The courier price is the direct charge from the couriers we use and is a weight-driven tariff based on the delivery location.

Courier delivery timescales
The time taken for delivery by courier can vary depending on location. When your order is complete, we will email you to inform you of despatch. The courier will then contact you when they have collected your order from us, to inform you of the expected delivery day.
Storage information
Our skirting boards and architraves are manufactured from solid kiln-dried timbers and should not be stored in a cold, damp environment (e.g. garage, shed or outbuilding). On arrival at your property, the packs should be taken straight indoors into a dry, heated building. All concrete, plaster and wet work should be fully dried out prior to storage and/or installation.
Properties
The wood is elastic, tough and strong relative to its weight and has good stiffness and hardness. The sapwood is light-coloured to nearly white and heartwood varies from greyish to light brown, to pale yellow streaked with brown. The wood is generally straight-grained with a coarse uniform texture. Shock resistance is very good. It works well with machine hand tools but has a moderate blunting effect. The harder species need preboring for nailing and screwing. It polishes, stains and glues well.
Durability
Slightly harder than oak although not as durable.
Typical Uses
Used for quality furniture, interior joinery, boat building and built-in kitchens. Other uses include sports equipment such as oars, paddles, bats and cues, and handles for workshop and garden tools. It is also a good source of decorative veneers.
