Wood
Fascination
Wood care – Timber is a living thing that breathes life into the
environment in which it is placed and which responds to the environment.
Caring for wood is a crucial part of maintaicng your woodcraft. Wood is
sensitive to fluctuations in temperature, altitude, humidity, and sunlight.
It is important to bear in mind that the wood will adapt to its environment,
and proper care will ensure its longevity.
From the forest into your home
The process of crafting indigenous timber is strictly monitored.
Trees are cut on a selected basis in the forest under the control of the
Department of Water & Forestry, which conducts bi-annual auctions,
where Timber Village aquires its wood. The logs are transported back to
Timber Village and cut on site, cured and dried in stacks for up to two
years, this is a gradual curing process that matures the wood like fine
wine to ready it for the workmanship. You may therefore be actively involved
in the entire process, from selecting the raw timber through to designing
and overseeing the manufacture of the final product. The unique character
of each piece of timber serves as an inspiration for the needs of each
customer. |
