Product Description

Yandles specialises in cutting green oak. We realise that the most important thing to you is both speed of turnaround and quality of product, and so we offer both. Unlike our competition we are not reliant on importing beams and so do not have long lead times with variable quality. Yandles cut oak beams on-site in our fully functioning sawmill hosting a log saw and resaw. This means we can turnaround most orders in under 5 working days, but often sooner. We don't scrimp on quality either. With over 90 years of experience between our sawmill managers; each order is personally selected, cut and checked. Whether it is an oak frame, gate post, or lintals we always ensure it meets our high standards.

Cracking in Green Oak

As Oak dries out over time, it can develop cracks and splits known as shakes. These tiny cracks run along the grain of the wood, which means that they do not affect its structural integrity. This cracking process happens faster in warmer weather, as the sun and wind speed up the drying process and can even cause shakes to form on recently cut green oak. As such, these should not be seen as faults, as it is a natural process. It is possible to reduce cracking in green oak by adding wood oil for protection.

One of the main reasons for posts to rot is the constant wetting and drying of the post. To help extend the life of the post, you can slope the soil or concrete the post is set in so that water doesn't gather at the base of the post. Sealing the post with oil at the level it goes in the ground also helps extend the life as it reduces the moisture absorption into the post.

Planing

We plane fresh sawn oak( green oak) ex inch. This means we plane it as thick as it will go, ensuring a smooth finish. It means it will be under the size of the original beam, but smooth all over. Generally planing takes 4-6 mm off the thickness of a piece. For this we use a hand plane. There are two main reasons. The first being that fresh sawn oak has tanins which react with metal creating a blue stain which is unsightly. The second is that that beams are heavy and difficult to handle through a thicknesser. Fresh sawn oak tends to get stuck through a thicknesser which creates white marks and even burn marks.
