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.

Splayed Cladding

What is Splayed Cladding?

Splayed cladding, otherwise known as rain screen cladding consists of rhomboid shaped boards equally spaced apart to form a decorative façade. Unlike most other types of cladding, splayed boards are not interlocked or connected, which means that the resulting facade is not waterproof. For this reason, splayed cladding should only be used in front of watertight surfaces.

All dry timber species can be machined to the splayed profile. The most popular choices are British sweet chestnut and British oak.

How to fix
Face fix only. Two fixings per board / batten

At each batten use two fixings, each located towards the outer edge of the board. Subsequent boards can be spaced 5 – 10mm apart, depending on the desired appearance. It is important to ensure that any building paper or insulation will not be visible through the gap at eye level.
