New French Oak Sleepers
Our new French Oak Sleepers are excellent quality, sustainably sourced from renowned French sawmills and the same species as our beloved English oak - giving immense strength and durability as well as offering character and charm.
Please Note:
Beware of cheap, lower grade alternatives such as Eastern European Oak (commonly known as Turkey Oak). We don’t sell this due to its poor quality compared to English/French oak
Our new oak sleepers are:
• Affordable
• 100% organic
• Extremely strong
• No creosote or chemicals
• Numerous uses inside and outside
• Durable due to natural oils and dense grain
New oak railway sleepers have numerous uses both inside and outside the home including; patios, beams/lintels, fire surrounds, garden furniture, bridges, steps, rustic-pathways, edging, raised flower/vegetable beds, decorative features etc...
Most of our new oak sleepers are fairly square with some having a slight 'wane' or bevel on one or two edges. New oak sleepers soon 'weather' to an attractive silver/grey colour when exposed to the sun and rain. All our oak sleepers are unseasoned and may develop splits and cracks with age, giving them character and that rustic look!

Note:
Many of our customers make fantastic rustic furniture from our new oak but please be aware that the wood is unseasoned (contains natural moisture), is not kiln dried and thus not sold as ’carpentry’ quality.
Our new oak will show some imperfections; cracks, knots, marks, some wane and even the odd insect nibble. The wood may distort, move and shrink slightly as it ages. All adding to its character and giving it the rustic look. The wood is sold as ‘sleeper’ or ‘garden’ grade which is reflected in our prices.
