Opening Summer 2007

We have a good range of quality native woodturning blanks. Including Ash, Oak, Beech, Cherry, Elm, Sycamore and Chestnut. We often have recycled blanks inc. mahogany, teak and beech. We usually have spalted beech and a selection of burrs. All blanks are cut from logs that are stacked in shade for up to a year to relieve stress prior to milling. Once milled, dry Sycamore strips are used to seperate planks, thereby eliminating the problem of staining.

The milled logs are then strapped to avoid movement and stacked correctly in a large barn with space to allow continuous airflow, facilitating the drying process.

The moisture content of our air dried supply is reduced to approximately 22%. before kiln drying . After kiln drying our woodturning bowl blanks are cut and the ends waxed ready for turning.

We are not set up yet to supply mail-order, but please feel free to come and browse our blank store, (please phone first). In the near future we will be suppling wood turning finishing products.

We are 17 miles south of Inverness at Errogie on the Fort Augustus road
