Stonehaugh Woodcraft

Stonehaugh Woodcraft Stonehaugh Woodcraft produce quality woodcrafts, made from localy sourced materials. Buying the wood in the round, as we do, means thinking well ahead.

Stonehaugh woodcraft enjoy making our crafts in the hopes that you and your family will enjoy them too. Stonehaugh Woodcraft pride ourselves on using 98% of timber sourced locally within an 80 mile radius of home. The majority of our timber is bought or traded from local farmers and land owners, with a high percentage being felled as a result of storm damage or disease. The UK has some fantastic n

ative woods such as; Oak, Ash, Beach, Yew, Cherry, Laburnum, to name but a few. With such beautiful native woods at hand the need for tropical woods becomes a moot point for us a Stonehaugh Woodcraft. From log to finished product can take 2 to 4 years, or more. The logs have to be stacked and seasoned in preparation for planking. They are then cut down to size with a chain saw before being passed through a bandsaw which we use to cut the logs into 2" - 3" and 4" boards. The boards are then stacked and the ends painted with hot wax to slow down the drying process from the ends. Drying takes around 1 year for every inch, so each stack is marked and monitored. If we are after something a little special then the process takes a little longer; the logs are half buried in a dark corner of my garden, were they lie for 18 - 24 months. This allows fungus to grow on the log, the fungus penetrates the wood and travels up the internal structure staining the wood as it goes. This effect is known as spalting. After the spalting process has run its course the logs are then planked and stacked for the 1 year per inch.

This is an Oak bowl, turned against the natural curve of the log. Turning it this way preserves some of the sap wood (the lighter wood), which can give a nice contrast against the darker heart wood.

Okay so this was just for fun, I don’t imagine it will ever sell. But John once told me, ‘if you can mount it, you can turn it.’
Well it did leave the lathe twice… my shin can attest to that.
But I quite like it!

I know I’ve said it before but, I love the fact that you never know what’s hiding inside a piece of wood.
This is a piece of rippled and spalted Sycamore.
It had deep checks in it and was really soft in places. But I think it turned out okay.

John has been busy with nice piece of yew. He turned this beautiful natural edge bowl.
