Timber for Design Projects

Timber Cladding for Design

If you’re a designer or maker, you already know timber isn’t just another material on the list, it’s the soul of the piece. The right board can completely change a project, turning an idea into something unforgettable. That’s what we’re here for at English Woodlands Timber: helping you find wood with character, personality and a story to tell. Whether you’re sketching a one-off coffee table or mapping out an entire interior, we’ve got timbers that will get your ideas moving.

A Yard Full of Inspiration

Every piece of timber in our yard has been picked because it’s got something special about it – a wild grain, a deep tone or a fragrance you can’t quite forget.

Some favourites you’ll often find in our racks:

• Elm – rich in colour, with grain that seems to flow like water
• Yew – unpredictable, full of contrast and perfect for statement details
• Cedar of Lebanon – beautiful in looks and unforgettable in scent

And that’s just scratching the surface. Whether you’re after waney-edged boards for something sculptural, or planed, ready-to-go timber for a tight deadline, we’ve probably got just the thing hiding in the stacks.

The Timber Rack Experience

If you’ve never visited The Timber Rack in the South Downs, it’s worth the trip. It’s part workshop, part playground – rows and rows of boards you can walk through, touch and choose for yourself. Some people come looking for something specific; others just want to see what jumps out at them. Either way, it’s always an adventure.

• You can buy boards one at a time – no need for bulk orders.
• We’ll send them to your studio if you can’t make the drive.
• New pieces are added constantly, so there’s always a surprise waiting.

Why Creatives Keep Coming Back

Designers tell us they love working with us because they find timbers they can’t get anywhere else, and because our team genuinely gets it – we’re as excited about the wood as you are. Behind it all, there’s a quiet confidence that comes from knowing everything we stock is responsibly sourced and chosen with care.
