We make all of our products from reclaimed scaffold boards, which are typically made from European Whitewood. Whilst this is a softwood, scaffold boards make sturdy furniture. The boards are usually around 22.5cm wide and 3.5cm thick, though they can vary.

The scaffold boards we use are reclaimed, so each board is unique and will have its own signs of wear depending on its age and how it’s been used. This is all part of the character but does mean that the colour and overall finish will vary from board to board and may differ from that shown in our photos. The photos provide an indication of how the various finishes will look but as items will be made from different pieces of wood the colours do vary. Please see our other item listings and social media for further images of how the various finishes may look and contact us in advance if you have any queries.

The boards can have branding of the scaffold company name on the sides, cracks and dents, burns, paint remnants (especially on the ends where the scaffolding companies apply paint in order to identify their boards), metal nail plates, holes where nail plates or metal end bands have been removed, saw marks, staples, sunken nails and rust stains. They may also show visible repairs where we have installed biscuit joins across cracks. Please see images of some of these features and contact us in advance of ordering if you have any particular preferences.
