At Boon, we’ve always prided ourselves on our dedication to quality craftsmanship, sustainability, and innovative design. Our journey began with the creation of bespoke modular structures that blend seamlessly into their surroundings, offering luxurious yet practical spaces for work, relaxation, and living. Today, we are excited to announce the expansion of our capabilities with the launch of Boon’s new wood shop—a space where our passion for woodcraft meets the latest in sustainable building practices. This new venture allows us to take our commitment to quality and creativity to the next level, offering our clients truly unique timber solutions that reflect the beauty and resilience of nature.
The inspiration behind our Wood Shop
The decision to open our wood shop was born from a desire to have greater control over the materials and finishes used in our projects. Over the years, we’ve developed a deep appreciation for the character and warmth that wood brings to our builds. From the raw, rustic charm of reclaimed timber to the sleek elegance of modern finishes, wood has always played a central role in our designs. However, sourcing the right materials and achieving the perfect finish often proved challenging.
By establishing our own wood shop, we can now oversee every stage of the wood preparation process, ensuring that each piece meets our exacting standards. This hands-on approach allows us to experiment with new techniques, finishes, and designs, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in timber construction.
Craftsmanship rooted in sustainability
At Boon, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a guiding principle that influences every aspect of our business. Our wood shop is no exception. We’ve made a conscious decision to focus on reclaimed and sustainably sourced timber, reducing our environmental impact while creating beautiful, high-quality products.
One of our signature offerings is our reclaimed scaffold board cladding. These boards are carefully selected, cleaned, and wire brushed to reveal the rich grain hidden beneath years of use. By repurposing this timber, we give it a new lease on life, transforming it into a versatile building material that adds character and history to any space. The process of reclaiming and refinishing these boards not only reduces waste but also results in a product that is both durable and environmentally friendly.
In addition to reclaimed wood, we also source new timber from responsibly managed forests, ensuring that our materials are harvested in a way that promotes biodiversity and forest health. By choosing sustainably sourced wood, we can offer our clients peace of mind, knowing that their projects are contributing to the preservation of natural resources for future generations.
Custom finishes and unique designs
One of the most exciting aspects of our new wood shop is the ability to create custom finishes that reflect our clients’ unique tastes and the specific requirements of their projects. Our team of skilled craftsmen uses a combination of traditional woodworking techniques and modern technology to achieve the desired look and feel for each piece of timber.
Whether you’re looking for the rugged texture of rough-hewn boards or the smooth, polished finish of contemporary design, our wood shop can deliver. We offer a range of in-house finishes, from natural oils that enhance the wood’s grain to weather-resistant treatments that ensure your timber stands the test of time. Each finish is applied with care and precision, resulting in a product that not only looks stunning but also performs exceptionally well in a variety of environments.
Our custom designs extend beyond finishes. We can create bespoke timber elements that are tailored to the specific dimensions and aesthetic goals of your project. Whether you need custom cladding, unique paneling, or one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, our wood shop is equipped to bring your vision to life.
The benefits of live timber
A standout feature of our wood products is their “live” quality—meaning they are designed to respond naturally to changes in humidity and temperature. This dynamic characteristic allows the wood to expand and contract with the seasons, resulting in a finish that evolves over time. While this may lead to minor splinters or small cracks, it’s important to note that these imperfections do not weaken the wood; instead, they add to its unique charm and authenticity.
Live timber is particularly well-suited to our modular structures, where the natural movement of the wood complements the organic, grounded feel of our designs. Clients who choose our live timber products often find that these subtle changes in the wood enhance the overall character of their spaces, creating an environment that feels both timeless and alive.
At Boon, we believe that the best results come from close collaboration with our clients. Our wood shop is an extension of this philosophy, offering a space where ideas can be explored and refined. Whether you’re an architect with a specific vision in mind, a homeowner looking to add a unique touch to your space, or a business seeking to create an unforgettable customer experience, our team is here to help you realize your goals.
We invite you to visit our wood shop and see our craftsmen in action. Witness the care and attention to detail that goes into every piece of timber we work with, and discover the endless possibilities that our custom wood solutions can offer.
The launch of Boon’s new wood shop marks an exciting new chapter in our journey. By bringing the process of timber preparation and finishing in-house, we are able to offer even greater flexibility, quality, and innovation in our designs. Whether you’re building a luxury accommodation, a home office, or a unique outdoor space, our wood shop is here to provide the bespoke timber solutions you need to make your project truly special.
