    90sq Turned Dining Table Legs

    For as long as my memory can stretch back we have been manufacturing the FL021R 90x90 Edwardian style turned dining table leg. This design started its life in the very early 1980`s when a customer dropped into our factory and asked...

    Titebond Wood Glues

    Being a timber manufacturing business, we are regularly required to glue timber together to be able to make a product.
