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.

The ‘magic’ begins at the UK’s first thermal modification plant

After much anticipation, some frustrating delays, and a lot of hard work, we are pleased to announce that our new thermal modification plant is operational. And, very excitingly, we have produced the first batches of Brimstone timber using our new on-site modification plant. This production unit is the first of its kind in the UK, and it’s a big step forward for Brimstone timber.

We are very proud that the thermal modification plant is now up and running – and just in time for Christmas!

Brimstone is a thermally modified timber cladding made in the UK, from timber grown in Britain.

“We are very happy with the results from our new on-site, thermal modification plant” said Vastern Timber owner and managing director, Tom Barnes.

“Brimstone thermally modified timber is ideal for cladding and decking, and it’s a great choice for anyone looking for a locally grown alternative to imported hardwoods. And thanks to the magic of thermal modification we can transform fast-growing local timber – like poplar, sycamore and ash, which are not naturally durable – into a long lasting and beautiful timber, which I think can really make people smile.”
