At the heart of Whippletree's operations is a commitment to traditional craftsmanship and structural integrity. The company provides a diverse range of timber products, including green and air-dried oak beams, custom-milled sections, and complete frame constructions. Their offerings are meticulously graded to BS5756 standards, ensuring suitability for structural applications. Whippletree's expertise extends to crafting complex components such as jowl posts, curved beams, and turned columns, all designed to meet the unique specifications of conservation projects. Whippletree's dedication to sustainability and provenance is evident in their sourcing practices. By purchasing timber "at stump," they guarantee the origin and quality of their materials, with each tree assigned a unique serial number for full traceability. This approach not only supports responsible forestry but also ensures that clients receive authentic English oak, a critical factor in heritage conservation work. Beyond supplying timber, Whippletree offers a suite of value-added services to support their clients' projects. These include in-house certification, kiln-drying to specific moisture levels, and on-site technical support. Their seasoned team is adept at matching cutting lists, removing defects, and delivering timber that meets precise project requirements. This holistic approach ensures that clients receive not only high-quality materials but also the expertise needed to execute their vision successfully. Whippletree's portfolio showcases a range of notable projects, reflecting their versatility and commitment to excellence. From supplying 7-meter air-dried oak beams for Kew Gardens' rose garden pergolas to crafting a 10-meter larch tail-pole for the historic Drinkstone post mill, their work underscores a deep understanding of both traditional and contemporary construction needs. These projects exemplify Whippletree's ability to deliver bespoke solutions that honor the integrity and heritage of each structure.
