Gradually, Yandles began to move into the production of Elm Coffin sets (these consisted of a pair of ends and sides, a lid and bottom supplied in planed and sanded boards ready for the Coffin Manufacturer/Undertaker to assemble into a coffin) and after the Second World War this became their main production line. All the timber could be found locally, with the Elm being in plentiful supply and fast-growing.

Local Farmers would treat it like a crop selling a few trees off each year to provide extra income and as Elm had limited uses, due to the fact that it was prone to woodworm and had a tendency to warp there was little competition for the timber. As demand grew, the Company needed to look further afield for its raw materials as it required large trees in order to cut the coffin lids out of (jointing was not acceptable) and so gave up felling its own timber and relied on about thirty independent timber buyers from around the Country.

Structurally Graded Timber

Yandles can now offer onsite Visually Graded Structural Oak to BS5756 2007-a1:201

Using the Temperate Hardwood(TH) strength grades we can offer TH1(D30) and TH2(D24) for sections smaller section oak, with a cross section over 2000mm² and a thickness over 20mm and THA(D40) and THB(D30) for heavy sections equal or greater than 20000mm² and a thickness equal or greater than 100mm. This means that the Oak can be used in the same predictable, economic and reliable way as any other construction material.

Hardwood cut to size

Our Sawmill can offer a fixed-price timber processing service for many of our stocked kiln-dried timber, available for nationwide delivery.

We have many years of experience ensuring our customers maximize what they want in a time frame that suits them. The sawmill is full of industrial machinery to ensure that we can do the job required. Whether you require sawn boards, a full PAR cut list or even some extra machining we can help.
