Extraordinary wood floors made from the very best English Oak.

English Oak is an exceptional variety of wood and is revered for being the finest in this species. Due to being wilder, and more naturally grown, this wood features an incredible natural grain pattern throughout the logs. These pedunculate logs are very different to the tall Sessile Oaks from commercial forests. It’s also slowly grown, meaning that the growth rings inside are much tighter than in quicker grown woods, with the hue being richer in colour as a result too.

All of our English Native Timbers are crafted from incredibly special English Oak, rare.

We saw our English Oak logs in the traditional manner that they would have been done for hundreds of years. This method is known as quarter sawing. By doing this you get a little less wood from each log, but the usable wood has the best stability possible. Quarter-sawn oak mainly moves in its thickness and not in its width. Truly a magical material.

Quarter-sawing this organic oak also reveals extraordinary grain patterns throughout the wood, wonderfully thick medullary rays, sometimes wild and wondering grain patterns and rich, warm tones that are unique to the species.

Appreciating the subtle natural beauty of our English Native Timbers are key to modest floors. A seamless fit into both traditional and contemporary builds, contact our expert team today via hello@woodworks1988.com to use English Native Timbers flooring within your upcoming projects.
