We have created this web site to provide our customers with information about our products and our wider work. We plan to keep developing the site as our thinking about the business develops and as we add products and services to our range.

Any new additions our Web Site will be announced here - so when you visit next time -  take a look here first.

Posted 5th April 05 - Falkirk wood will, for the first time, be taking a double stand at the Scottish Wood Fair in Perth on May 13th and 14th at the Scottish Wood Fair. We will be showing a selection of boards, new products, flooring, our new range of mouldings and craft and turnery wood. On our stand we will feature the work of Scotland and Dalgety Designer Cabinet Maters who specialise in creating quality products from Scottish hardwoods. Our stand is supported by the Central Scotland Forest Trust

Posted 10th March 2005 - After a very busy period our new machine room is fully operational and we are taking orders for flooring and other mouldings. We now have plans to install a new kiln which is larger than our existing kiln to cope with demand for our hardwoods. The new kiln is due to be fully operational in May.

Posted 23rd Aug 04 - Falkirk Wood has once again been successful in attracting financial support from the Falkirk Environment Trust and Shanks First for the purchase of new equipment to enable us to expand our range of products made from local logs that would otherwise go to waste.  This includes solid hardwood flooring, decking, external cladding, skirtings and other mouldings. An upgrade to the buildings is due to begin on 23rd August and our new equipment will be installed in September.  Please ring or e-mail for more information or quotes.

Dec 5th 2002 - Falkirk Wood has received confirmation of its successful application for capital support from the Shanks First Fund via the Falkirk Environment Trust. This is funding from the landfill tax in recognition that Falkirk Wood is utilising timber that would otherwise go to waste (most hardwood timber bought and sold in Scotland today is imported). We have already begun to implement our development programme and we look forward to being able to improve our services.

Sept 30th 2002 - Falkirk Wood has attracted support from the Board of the Falkirk Environment  Trust to develop new infrastructure including wood working machine tools, a second kiln and a new timber store using Landfill Tax funds. The decision is due to be ratified by the Landfill Tax 'Environmental Body'  committee on 15th November. It means that we will soon be in a position to prepare our timber to the specification of our customer in house. In the meantime we will continue to arrange machining as needed.

October 4th 2002 - Mavisbank Wood, our own small woodland planted in 1992 with broadleaved species is already looking great but we are now working with the Central Scotland Forest Trust and the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers to establish woodland wildflowers in the wood. Volunteers were out today preparing the ground and then planting seed collected in Callendar Wood, Falkirk. Species sown include foxglove, enchanters nightshade and wood avens. We should begin the see the results next spring. Our thanks go to all the volunteers. Contact  Penny Edwards (by phone or e-mail) if you'd like to have a walk around the wood or find out about more.
