Woodfair Sept 08 at Bentley Wildfowl

Heartwood stole the show with our Woodfairstand displaying an oak frame with curved braces, doors, windows, tables and beautiful signage. We raised alot of interest with our unique style of craftsmanship and the public were very interested in the historic case studies and the work in progress joinery exhibits.

The Woodfair is held annually at Bentley and in 2008 attracted 11,500 visitors with 140 exhibitors. There are a wide range of demonstrations, exhibitors and stalls, ranging from traditional woodland crafts, educational activities, trade exhibits, forestry demonstrations to products and timber for sale.

Testimonials

I would like to add my name to the many satisfied customers of Heartwood Construction and Joinery. In our case they constructed a complex solid oak stair case over three floors, with an extra landing. This complex construction was in an Oast House which does not know what a “straight line or right angle” is! So this was a very complex difficult construction. We were delighted with the outcome, which was finished to an extremely high standard, and fitted with minimal disruption. I certainly would recommend Heartwood where complex hand crafted skills are needed.

"We are extremely pleased with the superbly handmade windows and doors that Heartwood Construction made for our period home. Chris Payne has an understanding and feeling for old houses, with knowledge of their original construction that helps him to ensure that the joinery he creates will fit into and move with a property that will continue to develop over the years".
