Giving wood a second life
We collect unwanted wood from across Sheffield and the surrounding area, keep it out of landfill, and put it back to work — through direct sales, handcrafted products, and woodworking courses.
We are currently in the process of starting up and aim to raise £30,000 so we can buy a van and secure premises. In the meantime, we are busy designing and running courses in pop-up locations, applying for funding and making wood-based connections in and around Sheffield. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.

How it works
From skip to
something special
Every piece of wood has a story. We make sure it gets a next chapter — whether that’s on your workbench, in one of our products, or as part of a course.
1
Collection
We come to you
We pick up unwanted wood from construction sites and households across Sheffield and the surrounding area. No job too big or too small.

Workshop
Sort and prepare
Back at our workshop, we inspect, sort, and prepare every piece. We assess what it’s best suited for and get it ready for its next life.

New Life
Put to best use
Good wood gets sold to the public or crafted into our own products. We also run woodworking courses. Only the truly unusable goes to chipping — typically into chipboard.
What we do
How we use your wood
Wood Sales
Quality reclaimed timber sold directly to makers, builders, and the public, saving wood from waste.
Handmade Products
Our workshop team crafts reclaimed timber into furniture, homewares, and bespoke pieces for sale.
Woodworking courses
From beginner sessions to advanced joinery — we run workshops that build real woodworking skills.
Wood Chipping
The last resort. Wood that can’t be re-used gets chipped. It is typically made into chipboard, so nothing is truly wasted.
Have wood to collect?
We are not currently booking wood collections as we haven’t got premises yet. We hope to be operational very soon.
When we start collecting wood we will have a large truck and will be able to collect from Sheffield and the surrounding area up to an hour’s drive away. We’ll collect from households, building sites, offices – anywhere that has more than 4 yd3 of wood to collect. It will be fast, convenient and inexpensive.
