Oak Furniture From Cumbria Kitchen & Bedroom Furniture
Oak (or Quercus as it is known in Latin) is a hardwood with some 400 known species. It is a dense strong hardwood, popular for its beautiful and attractive grain markings, ideal for furniture requiring strength and reliability.

We use several types of oak wood in the manufacture of our fine furniture, but the most popular by far is the natural oak which has a brown colour running through it, or the distinctive pippy oak, which has a cat paw appearance on its surface.
We use sustainable wood from sustainable forests and our timber suppliers are members of the FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council).
There are several finishes possible for all oak furniture, both in the kitchen and bedroom including lacquer, oil, wood stain and painted.
Oak furniture is used in a wide range of styles, from contemporary and modern, through to traditional and shaker designs, but no matter what style, all our furniture is made to the same high standard by our skilled craftsmen, guaranteeing a longer-lasting piece of furniture.
Here we have used coloured wood stain to provide a professional finish and, with a wide range of colour fast stains, there’s a colour for every taste and project.
Modern Natural Oak Shaker Bedroom

This example shows an oak shaker style bedroom, finished in a matt lacquer.
We consider the lacquered finish to be the best for oak, as it imparts an incredible depth and richness and has excellent durability.
We use a post-catalytic lacquer, which is a two-part system mixed in our workshops, following precise ratios which gives a very hard wearing cover to enhance the timber.
As with all our bespoke furniture the choice of styles and finishes is virtually unlimited.
