Use Your Fallen Tree to Sequester Carbon... then Sell it or Use it

Straight from the Wood germinated from three huge fallen boughs from an ancient Lebanese cedar in our woodland. The grain and scent of the wood was beautiful - and the tree had been sequestering carbon for at least 300 years. We started exploring how the wood could be used.

Hauling the boughs from the wood, getting them onto an HGV and then transporting them to a sawmill was prohibitively expensive. We found a tree surgeon who had a mobile planking machine, and Bruce of Tewkesbury Saw Co advised us on how to care for the wood once it had been planked.

Our objective is to share the knowledge, and support people in finding tree surgeons with mobile planking machines - and then make British wood, often from rare and unusual species, available for sale - or to use in your own home.

Why Buy Straight From The Wood

  • Provenance - Grown in the UK

    Ethical wood either from woodland nurtured for nature, or it's from tree surgeons - and without this channel it would be sold as firewood.

  • Rarely Available Species

    Some wood comes from ancient trees that have shed boughs in storms. Wood such as cedar, yew, acacia, sycamore, oak and ash.

  • Sequestering Carbon within the Wood

    Trees cut down by tree surgeons are largely used for firewood or left to rot, releasing all the carbon stored back into the atmosphere. Using the wood retains the carbon.

  • Support Woodland Regeneration

    Purchases support woodland owners in planting trees and regenerating woodland for wildlife.
