WE SET UP RAG AND BONEMAN FURNITURE IN 2013 NOT LONG AFTER WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOME. WE REALLY STRUGGLED TO FIND NICE SOLID FURNITURE WITHIN OUR PRICE RANGE....SO WE DECIDED TO MAKE OUR OWN. SOON FRIENDS AND FAMILY STARTED ASKING US TO MAKE PIECES FOR THEM AND THE REST IS HISTORY. RECYCLED TIMBER IS VERY DIFFERENT TO NEW TIMBER SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS AND CHECK THAT RECYCLED IS THE R
IGHT OPTION FOR YOU.
1: UNLIKE NEW TIMBER IT IS VERY RARE THAT WE ARE SOURCING IT ALL FROM THE SAME BATCH SO THIS MEANS THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL LENGTH OF TIMBER IN ONE SINGLE PIECE OF FURNITURE CAN VARY IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
- COLOUR - WE AIM TO SOURCE EACH LENGTH OF TIMBER AS CLOSE A MATCH AS POSSIBLE BUT IT WILL NOT BE IDENTICAL - WE USE LIGHT, RED OR DARK AS A GUIDE TO OVERALL TONE.
- KNOTS, GUM VEINS AND GRAIN ARE ALL NATURAL TIMBER CHARACTERISTICS AND AGAIN WILL VARY.
- RECYCLED TIMBER SPECIFICALLY OFTEN HAS NAIL HOLES AND UNIQUE MARKS FROM ITS PAST LIFE
2: IF YOU AFTER A PARTICULAR SPECIES OF TIMBER OR A MORE CONSISTENT TONE ACROSS EACH LENGTHS WE CAN SOURCE THIS FROM SPECIALIST RECYCLED TIMBER YARDS BUT PLEASE NOTE THEY CHARGE CONSIDERABLY MORE PER METRE WHICH IMPACTS THE OVERALL PRICING OF OUR PIECES. IT WILL STILL HOWEVER BE RECYCLED AND WILL HAVE SOME OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE ABOVE SO IF THIS ISN'T WHAT YOU ARE AFTER THEN RECYCLED TIMBER MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT OPTION FOR YOU.
