For a quarter of a century, David Sumray has traversed the globe in pursuit of his passion for timber reclamation and forgotten buildings that have endured the test of time. He's been to places where the only logical reason to be there would be pure intrigue. With a burning desire to resurrect these ancient timbers, he set up a sawmill in Ireland and has been shipping the material back ever since.
Now, the question on everyone's mind is, how on earth do you transform an old, gnarled, weathered, worm-eaten, nail-infested piece of wood into a stunning, sophisticated, and downright gorgeous floor? Well, my friends, we're not spilling the secret sauce. It's taken David and his team a full 25 years and cost them a pretty penny in the process. They've destroyed thousands of euros' worth of machinery, and the bank has even told them to find a "real" job. But with tenacity and a burning passion, they refused to let go of their vision. And now, they can proudly say that they've persevered. The once-old, gnarled, weathered, worm-eaten, nail-infested piece of wood has been reborn into a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece that reveals a slice of history and hidden beauty. It's a treasure to behold and cherish for years to come.
