The Cleft Wood Company

"Fences for deer-parks are of various kinds, and nothing looks better, or harmonises more with the landscape, than the old-fashioned oak-paling, covered with lichen and mel- lowed with age."
Joseph Whitaker 1892

Established by Alex Moir in 1993, The Cleft Wood Company is a small team of craftsmen who specialise in traditional cleft oak fencing and gates. Cleft wood displays the individual character of each piece of wood used, blending with the landscape. The timber is sourced from thinnings, it is a renewable crop.
