This frame added real character to the aesthetic of the building, but even the strongest oak beams eventually feel the strain of time. Over the years, exposure to moisture and all the elements of our […]

There is real beauty because even though the timber started life as a beam rather than a plank, the character is still there, the history is still there, and the craftsmanship brings […]
