Our oak sleepers make up more than half of our total sales.
These sleepers are 100% natural and are an untreated product - they're a premium product without the premium price!
Our durable, high-quality and dense Oak is suitable for:

Rustic Furniture Making
Our customers use these for everything from construction lintels to interior woodworking.
Our oak is sourced from European suppliers who where possible use sustainable materials.
A large proportion of our suppliers are part of the replanting scheme. By using sustainable timber we are contributing to the continual growth of forests, which absorb carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas.
Sleeper Grading:
European Oak sleepers are a natural product and cut individually. This will lead to a more rustic appearance.
Generally sleepers will have at least 3 square edges, you will find splits, cracks and small discrepencies in sizing ( a bit like the old reclaimed sleepers) New softwood sleepers or the premium Canadian oak are more suited when cleaner lines and a modern look are needed.
