At Eco Timber Works, our craft begins deep within Kent’s ancient woodlands. Every piece of furniture we make starts with locally sourced timber — cut, seasoned, and shaped by hand using methods that have been part of Kent’s rural tradition for centuries.
We work primarily with coppiced wood, harvested through one of the oldest and most sustainable woodland practices known in Britain. By continuing this time-honoured technique, we help preserve a system that has supported both craftsmanship and wildlife in our county for generations.
Coppicing is the ancient art of cutting trees at their base, allowing them to regrow naturally from the same root system. This traditional process produces strong, straight stems ideal for furniture making, and can be repeated indefinitely without harming the woodland.
Each time a tree is coppiced, new shoots emerge, rejuvenating the woodland and encouraging a diverse range of plant and animal life. This approach makes our work not just sustainable, but actively beneficial for the local ecosystem.
By sourcing timber this way, we ensure that every item we create is eco-friendly, renewable, and rooted in the responsible management of Kent’s forests.
Choosing Eco Timber Works means investing in furniture with purpose — made sustainably, built to last, and designed to connect you to the natural world. Our outdoor pieces are more than functional; they’re expressions of craftsmanship and care, inspired by the landscapes and woodlands of Kent.
