This substantial base cruck frame is in one of the earliest historic styles of Oak frame carpentry. Sourcing such large curved members was not easy and requires a good understanding between forester and carpenter.
Note the form of the base cruck with a collar or yoke at high level with a braced king post and ridge braces set over. The frame also has cruck spurs which joint from the cruck blades to the top plates picking up the foot of the truss rafters.
Most of our frames are sand blasted after the frame is enclosed. This process removes the accumulation of dirt through the sawing process and manufacture and softens the sawn surface, giving a soft, uniform straw colour that is highly attractive.
This elegant home was produced in conjunction with a well-known firm of local Architects Richard Ashby Associates.
“"Thank you for the frame that you have just finished at Rogate. It was a miserable wet day, yesterday and John and team carried on regardless. We are delighted with the overall look and also the mouldings to the members. As usual, the frame was millimetre accurate and will be easy to take forward to complete the building."
Bob, Trembath Associates
“"We wanted to write to you to express our profound gratitude for the excellent work you have done on our building scheme. It cannot have been easy to pick up the project from another architect when there were still a number of issues unresolved, but you have done so brilliantly and remained calm throughout, even at fraught times. We really do appreciate that you have gone the extra mile for us. We have all enjoyed working with you and have been so impressed with the quality of your work."
Alastair, The Early Years Project
“"We have constructed several buildings using Oak frames designed, manufactured and erected by the Green Oak Carpentry Company. We are pleased to confirm that their work is accurate, well detailed and delivered on time. They are knowledgeable and we find working with them easy and straight forward. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending them."
Robert, Trembath Associates
“"Just to say that it looks fabulous, and all who survey it are wonder-struck. Best wishes and many thanks to you all."
Simon, National Trust
