We're delighted to have made two Medieval style bespoke oak tables and four oak benches for Hever Castle's recent transformation of what was once the Boleyn Apartment. You can see them in the Tudor-style Great Chamber and Parlour, both in the article here (note only seems to be viewable on mobile devices) and 'in the flesh' at the castle itself. 13th century Hever Castle is situated in Kent.

Rooms in the 13th-century Hever Castle where Anne Boleyn once lived have been restored to how they would have looked in Tudor times.

We have recently cleared out one of our workshops and have a quantity of lovely reclaimed old oak for sale. Each length (65 in total) has a chainsawed flat surface and vary in thickness from 0.5" to 3", with most around 1"-1.5".

They would make a fabulous random width (up to 17" wide) boarded floor of fantastic colour and slightly uneven surface. Enough to cover around 203 sq.ft., more after re-saw.
