I regularly use Vastern for purchasing locally grown, sustainably sourced British oak and ash. I then use this for making bespoke fitted and freestanding furniture. The quality of the timber is excellent and reliable. I usually deal with Wolf when I visit who's friendly, knowledgeable and allows time to search for the timber that fits my requirements. The company really cares about what they do, and they promote the conservation and enhancement of British woodlands which is important to me and really sets them apart!

I went to Vastern to get a burr oak waney edge board. Their customer service was excellent, I was given a lot of help and advice to pick out the very board that met my needs to make my river table. I went back to get some planed oak for the legs/base. Thoroughly recommended!Edit Oct 2024: Visited again to get some planed oak boards for a custom lounge light. Customer service and the personal touch was still top notch!

I used Vasterns for some ash for a kitchen job and was very pleased with the quantity to choose from, the quality of the timber and the price. The customer service was also excellent. A guy named Wolf took time to help me pick out everything I needed. Left feeling pleased with my haul of timber and will definitely be back.

Wolf was excellent today helping Steve and I select a piece of wood for a desk and sorting out getting it cut so we could move it back on our truck. Great service and really nice that he was interested in our project. Thanks so much.

Development Funding from EAFRD supports expansion

We are pleased to announce that Vastern Timber has been granted funds for an innovative project at our Wootton Bassett sawmill, thanks to the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). Work is already underway to build the first thermal modification plant to be located in the UK.

The EAFRD is the funding instrument of the CAP that supports rural development strategies and projects. It also forms part of the European structural investment funds (ESIF). Vastern Timber was competing against hundreds of other projects for this funding, and we are gratified that our innovative project has been successful in this funding round.

EAFRD funds are used to achieve a variety of rural development goals, including improving the competitiveness of farm, forest and agri-food businesses; helping protect the natural environment; supporting rural economies; and assisting quality of life in rural areas.

The Brimstone Thermal Modification Plant project involves the equipment, building and infrastructure necessary to manufacture thermally modified timber in the UK from UK sourced wood for the construction and joinery industries. This will be the first plant producing this highly innovative engineered timber product in the UK and it will be marketed under the Brimstone brand.

We will share more information about the project in due course. Meanwhile we want to thank The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development for their support with this development project.
