Timber
Storage areas have been provided at Trerieve for local timber, for Oakman Chris (see www.oakmanchris.com ).

Oak, ash, sycamore, beech, chestnut, macracarpa are all available from local sources, for use as lintels beams, etc
A supply of Virola, a type of mahogany, has also been sourced from a local timber yard, which is no longer stocking this type of timber.

This is being processed at the moment, and is available in 1 inch boards from 3-12 inch width, plained both sides, with over 75 sq yards in stock at present. It is suitable for furniture and cabinet making, or internal doors.

Chris also offers skilled carpentry, on site fabrication and installation services, and can cut, process, or kiln dry, any purchased timber as required.

Woodland

It is hoped to plant up to 1 ha (2½ acre) of mixed oak, ash and broadleaf woodland on the steep land at the bottom of West Field, if a grant can be obtained from The Forestry Commission.
