CraftWoods has been processing and supplying beautiful timber since 1990. All of the timber comes from Cheshire Tree Surgeons activities so that we can say that nothing is ever wasted apart from the tree of course. We have been established in the heart of Vale Royal (the very middle of Cheshire) since 1985 and deliver best tree care as well as tree understanding to the people of Cheshire and across the country throughout that time.

Working out of Cheshire Tree Surgeons yard in Norley near Frodsham (and situated atop the Sandstone Ridge running North South across the Cheshire Plain) we have a mobile bandsaw that processes up to 36″ diameter logs into planks and beams. We even have our own solar kiln to speed and intensify drying.

So Cheshire Tree Surgeons focus on tree care and Arboriculture (which is the establishment, maintenance and care of trees) while CraftWoods makes best use of this wonderful timber resource.

We provide Oak beams for timber framing, Pine beams, and Leyland Cypress beams (which have amazing mechanical properties). We also provide planks of Oak, Cedar, Yew, Robinia, Lime, Redwood, Cypress, Juniper, Ash, Sycamore, Mulberry, Indian Bean Tree and various others in stock.

We supply native timber for joinery. woodturning, pyrography, clock making, timber carving, timber sculpting, timber framing and flower arranging.

So if you are looking for woods to craft with, you need craft woods so perhaps the best and most natural place to get those craft woods would be the website for Craft Woods or in other words CraftWoods.co.uk (www.CraftWoods.co.uk).

All Cheshire Tree Surgeons clients receive their own copy of Tree Morphogenesis book 1 so that they can obtain detailed insights into how their trees work and understanding of what constitutes really sympathetic and efficient tree care.

Readers of Tree Morphogenesis book 1 appreciate what how little care trees really need. Here’s a clue, if you can see it has been pruned, then it has been over pruned at your expense.

Reduction Via Thinning is a service that can be accurately described as Simulated Wind Pruning because it is based on how trees have been designed by their long evolution to facilitate pruning by the wind.

CraftWoods started selling woods for crafts and joinery in 1988 when we bought the first of a series of Hiab wagons. Overnight it became obvious that having a crane made the clearup so much easier and must have reduced stress on many backs over the years.

The winds off the Irish Sea that scream over the mostly flat county of Cheshire have filled our timber station yard in Norley with some fantastic tree trunks some of which are well over 500 years old (see Vale Royal Yew). Those same winds have also influenced our developing the new understanding of trees that is explained in Tree Morphogenesis book 1 (www.TreeMorphogenesis.com).

Cheshire Tree Surgeons generate timber as a bi-product and CraftWoods convert the best craft woods into planks or beams for traditional timber framing. We can construct traditional timber framed garden buildings and supply them as frames which are finished to clients specification which can be bare frame or turnkey finished. See www.Cruck.co.uk or www.CraftWoods.co.uk for more information on timber planks or timber beams that we have in stock.

Allow the beautiful wood to give you inspirational ideas of how you can utilise it in creative ways that improve your life and intensify your enjoyment of it. wipe and oily cloth over some sanded wood and you will understand just how wood reveals profound enjoyment that persists every time your fingers brush over it.

We think that trees are the biggest pets that people will ever own so it makes sense to immortalise your pets by using their timber around your house to remind you of their life. So while the best tree care enhances the intrinsic value of your trees preserving them while they are alive, CraftWoods try to turn their eventual loss into something creative and positive and that simple ethic makes sure that nothing of practical and aesthetic value is lost when the tree goes.
