We specialise in finding highly unusual pieces of wood for clients to make into tables, or other furniture, to their specification.

One of our tables featured in Wealden Times. The client particularly wanted a thick oak table top, due to access constraints and the length, we had to glue the two halves together, sand and finish on site.

@LloydsBank Okay, thankyou. I will respond to the email.

[James Ransley @WhetstoneOak]

@LloydsBank Is the email address [email protected] genuine? It looks genuine and they have posted out information on a Lloyd’s letterhead when I asked (as I was concerned) but they are asking me to authorise a transaction by email?

[James Ransley @WhetstoneOak]

@LloydsBank Thankyou,
