European Oak cut to size
European oak beams and boards, fresh sawn, air dried or kiln dried, cut to your exact sizes at our own sawmill in the Midlands. Choose sawn, planed or chamfered, and add a grade if your engineer needs one.
As one of the few remaining oak sawmills in the UK, we cut beams and boards to order with experienced sawyers. Cutting straight from the log gives you real flexibility on size, appearance and cost.
Fresh sawn (green) oak is the traditional choice for oak framing and outdoor structures, and will shrink and check as it dries. Air dried beams are drier and used mainly indoors. Kiln dried boards are for internal joinery and furniture.
Build your cutting list below. Mix beams and boards, finishes and grades, then add everything to your basket in one go. Orders are typically ready for collection within 5 working days, or delivered on our crane vehicles within 10 working days to most areas.
Grading to BS 5756 is optional and only needed if your engineer or building control asks for it. Need help with sizes? Call 01536 267107 or start a live chat. All dimensions are in millimetres
Beams are cut to your sizes at our sawmill, up to 12.5 m long and 400 mm wide for this option. They are mostly cut a little longer than ordered so you can trim them to size on site. This is intentional, not a defect.
Air dried European oak beams, dried slowly in square section. Less prone to movement than fresh sawn oak and used mainly indoors: mantels, window frames and restoration.
Expect surface checks, splits, a little sap and perhaps a few old boreholes. That's natural character. Supplied ungraded
