Ashburnham – reclaimed

...them into stunning, unique, natural masterpieces full of character and rustic charm which is sensual to touch and tantalizing to view.

The wood is over 100 years old and has slowly weathered over time, each piece as individual as a fingerprint with its natural imperfections and its own unique character and beauty.  Each piece of sleeper wood used has its own story – some parts of the wood still showing numbers or letters which had been carved into the wood as markings during its railway lifetime.

The furniture is handmade using the surface of the sleepers to provide its distinctive look and the core part for the internal frame, base, top and shelves.  All items in the Ashburnham range are born out of a lengthy process which includes stripping, shaping and joining the sleepers, all by hand using traditional carpentry methods.  A huge amount of skilled craftsmanship goes into the creation of each piece in this range.  The wooden structure is complemented by handmade handles and hinges of forged iron.  Hardwood sleepers are renowned for being extremely solid and heavy, hence the great weight and strength of these items. 

The ‘Ashburnham’ range is unique to Little Tree Furniture - designed to our very own style and not available from anywhere else in the world.  Its originality means the furniture can seem at home in any style of surroundings due to its contemporary modern design combined with its rustic traditional feel.  The naturalness and individuality of the range feeds our customer’s passion for beautiful handmade quality furniture.
