By AndrewCathcart on 25th May 2021

"Good quality timber, happy with the material."

By NickTooze on 23rd May 2021

"The wood was fine and arrived really well wrapped and protected. However the length of time it took from order to delivery is really not acceptable these days - over a fortnight. Either the wood is bought in to order (unlikely I imagine) or the management and organisation in the sawmill is old fashioned and sadly lacking. Decent wood though. "

Staff response...
"Thank you for your review. We are sorry you are unhappy at the lead, but we are glad the slats were good. All bench slats orders are currently produced to order and current lead time is on the bench slat home page and states 10 working days(two weeks). We are working as fast as possible to reduce this, but due to the current very high demand there is a lead time. "

By AndrewLeech on 21st May 2021

Staff response...

If there is a problem with the planed finish the slats should be sanded to improve the finish.

Sapele

Sapele is a medium to dark reddish brown heartwood predominantly from West Africa. It generally has a more random grain appearance meaning it can be liable to interlocked grain. Interlocked grain spirals around the centre of the tree thus alternating intermittently and causing a 'rough' effect, this can generally be reduced if not eliminated by heavy sanding.

Finishing from the sawmill

It is up to you and really depends what look you are after. They will go grey if you leave them and that is a natural barrier and is generally my choice with oak. Otherwise you can vanish/oil them and this will provide extra protection especially from moisture which is the worst thing to cause decay, but it will be an ongoing job with most oils. I have found with tung/danish oil that if left outside over winter as it will start to weather black and then grey in a matter of months and to avoid this it requires constant re coating.

We have recently starting stocking Restol which is able to protect the wood and maintain the oak for several years without a re coat and is proving very popular.
