Alternative woods gallery

Our alternative woods gallery highlights the distinct character of Douglas Fir, a strong and sustainable timber that complements our Western Red Cedar range. As our work develops, this space will grow to include other premium woods that reflect our approach to craft, durability and responsible sourcing. These close-up studies reveal the grain, tone and texture that emerge through our heat-treatment and finishing processes.
