About English Oak: Compared with American Oak (which we use as standard for all of our wooden beds), English Oak is much more characterful. Growing, harvesting and replenishing English Oak is a much smaller operation, resulting in a more natural look. The colour is a beautiful golden shade, ranging from pale straw to deep honey browns. This timber features a strong grain and “Cats Paw” clusters of knots peppered throughout. This “Pippy” Oak is the result of the open nature of our woodlands. The easy light penetration encourages a quick growth of buds on the main tree trunks. These growths penetrate deep into the heart wood of the tree, and when cut they appear as ‘cat’s paws’ or patches of burr on the board. The grain swirls around these knots and clusters, creating beautiful wild patterns and figures. Natural variations such as these are highly prized by furniture makers for truly unique pieces! These pips make stunning timber for special projects. You can find out more about this special collaboration with Albion Timber and English Oak in our blog post – Introducing Our English Oak Bed Collection. This bed is a one-off stock item and is available for a faster despatch of 1-2 weeks. Our lead-time is usually around 8 weeks ( delivery). This can fluctuate throughout the year, please do get in touch for the most up to date information. Lacquer Finish: Our ‘natural’ look lacquer finish, named for its clarity, allows you to appreciate the myriad colours and subtle variations in tone of natural timber. It retains a very subtle, soft sheen which protects the timber from grease marks and some stains.
