Then, one of our woodworkers will guide you through the process of building your very own bench. From start to finish, they’ll demonstrate every step which goes into transforming a pile of reclaimed scaffold boards into a finished product. There’ll be a break for lunch half way and at the end you’ll be able to take the bench away with you*.

You’ll finish your bench with a clear stain, our most popular finish option which highlights all the character within the reclaimed wood whilst helping to prolong the life of the product.

The session begins at 10:00am and will finish at approximately 2:00-3:00pm.

*This won’t be on the day – we’ll arrange with you a later date to collect as the bench will need curing/drying time.

The session will begin with some general housekeeping, introductions to the other participating elders and younglings, and a chance to familiarise yourself with the workshop before the spooky crafting begins.

Then, one of our experienced woodworkers will guide you through every step of the build process. Once you’ve selected your ghoulish faces, they’ll show you how to use the tools to construct your pair of rustic lanterns, perfect for lighting up doorsteps, pathways, and haunted corners of the garden.

Then at the end, there’ll be finish available to paint your lanterns in your chosen colour/s. At this point, your creations must remain in our care awhile longer as they dry. You’ll then be summoned to collect it before the big day, otherwise they’ll be left to the spirits.

This session is suitable for beginners and makes a fantastic introduction to woodworking, creative reuse, and seasonal crafting. Whether you’re decorating for trick-or-treaters or simply adding a touch of autumn magic to your home, you’ll leave with two unique handmade lanterns to enjoy year after year.

The session begins at 11:00pm and will finish at approximately 2:00pm.

You’ll begin the day with a short tour of our South Street workshop, where you’ll learn about the journey reclaimed timber makes: from sorting and “stickering” to preparing for reuse. From there, we’ll take you through the complete build process: cutting, assembling and finishing your bookcase. There’ll also be the opportunity to choose how many and where your shelves will be fitted too. Midway through the session we’ll take a lunch break, then reconvene to complete and finish your Suilven.

You’ll finish your bookcase with a clear stain, our most popular finish option which highlights all the character within the reclaimed wood whilst helping to prolong the life of the product. We’ll then arrange with you a later date to collect as the bookcase will need curing/drying time.

The session begins at 10:00am and will finish at approximately 4:00pm.

Leg styles

Our standard metal frames are trapezoid or X/cross in shape, available in both raw metal and black powder coated. We’re also able to fit black powder coated spider frames too. We think these are great for offering something a little more contemporary, perfect for any office or studio space. We source our metal frames from a UK-based supplier. Chat to us if you’re looking for different colours or styles, including collapsable (photographed) or completely bespoke.

Special thanks to Kirsten and Hazel for sharing photos of her living room and office space. Have you purchased a dining table from us? Please send us your photos of it in action!

Finishes

Including smooth, clear, light, medium or dark stain (indoor or outdoor), or a colour – you’ll be able to find the best option to suit your space. We use Loxkin for all our natural wood finishes, and Osmo for our coloured options because of their high environmental standards. Head to our finishes page to learn more. We’re also a Loxkin stockist, so please visit our retail space to view the range and speak to the team about ordering in what you require.

Colour Disclaimer

Colour, grain, knotting, scarring, lettering and the odd paint mark are all natural characteristics of our reclaimed board products due to the nature of wood. As a result, every item will appear slightly different. If you require matching items, we’d recommend ordering together and specifying what you’d like to ensure as close a match as possible.

Everyone’s screen is different, which also affects the finish colours you see. We try to edit our photos to show the samples as life-like as possible, but we cannot guarantee the colour you see accurately portrays what your final purchase may look like.

If there are specific characteristics you’d like your product to have, please provide these details (along with your desired finish type) in the customisation section.

The post Ben Nevis Dining Table appeared first on Glasgow Wood.

You’ll begin with a short tour of our South Street workshop, witnessing firsthand how reclaimed timber moves from sorting and “stickering” to preparation ready for reuse. From there, we’ll walk you through every stage of the build: cutting the boards to size, assembling the tabletop, attaching your chosen style of legs (straight or tapered), sanding smooth, and applying a clear finish that brings out the unique character of the wood.

After the Thursday evening session, we’ll reconvene on Saturday to complete the final touches — smoothing edges, fine-tuning joinery, and finishing your table with a clear stain, our most popular finish option which highlights all the character within the reclaimed wood whilst helping to prolong the life of the product. We’ll then arrange with you a later date to collect as the bookcase will need curing/drying time.

The Thursday session begins at 5:00pm and will finish at approximately 8:00pm.
The Saturday session begins at 10:00am and will finish at approximately 3:00pm.

You must be able to attend both sessions.
