Cornish-grown, Cornish-sawn

Every board began as a Cornish tree.

We only mill trees from Cornwall. We then dry them in our yard in Probus. So, if it didn't grow in Cornwall it doesn't leave our yard. And we never fell a tree for its timber — every log we mill was coming down anyway.

Every tree grew within the Duchy — most within twenty miles of the mill.

Coming down anyway

Windblown, diseased, or outgrown its space. Trees that would otherwise be chipped or burnt, given a second life.

No log too big

Bandsaw-milled at the farm, or chainsaw-milled on site if it can't be moved.

Green to seasoned

Air-dried only, never kilned. We stock green to fully-seasoned timber.

“Milling a log for the first time means being the first person ever to see what's inside it — a pattern of grain that might have taken two hundred years to grow, and no one has laid eyes on until that cut. That's the moment that keeps us doing this.”

Come and see the timber

We'd rather you walked the stacks and picked your own boards than ordered off a spec sheet. Visiting is by appointment only.
