Why Valley

We are a local working sawmill just outside Frome, not some general DIY store.

We stock both standard finished, and one-of-a-kind character boards in English Hardwood, softwood.

Come explore - visit our showroom - just 10 minutes outside Frome....

For makers

Live edge boards, character boards and offcuts, picked out for making rather than building.
