Bristol Wood Recycling Project - Bristol

Amazing set up, lovely people. Always ready to answer questions and give advice. Volunteering is also good fun and very relaxed atmosphere. I purchased plenty of pallet wood during the summer and this was the result.

Absolutely love this place- so friendly and helpful!… £25 later which included a donation for such a worthwhile cause and our king size bed has gone upmarket!!! Can’t wait for the next project!!

Decent stock if you tolerate the appalling customer service.

Edit post response from the owner:

I did NOT ask for a calculation on the spot - I asked if someone could have a look in the coming days and get back to me. This is not an unreasonable request when buying floorboards - knowing what square footage is available is a pretty standard request.

I designed a sword mount last year and visited the wood recycling project in December to see if it would be possible to make something similar to what I had in mind. I met Kaleb who was very helpful and showed me the selection of appropriate woods available and got  back to me with various quotes for the discussed design variations. Eventually I decided to get the sword mount made from scaffolding board with routed profile dges and a dark beeswax finish, and went back in to trace the design out. In early January I picked the completed sword mount but only got around to putting it up last week - hence the very delayed review! A couple of additional layers of the darkest beeswax I could find were applied after pick-up but the main body of the work was done solely by the wood recycling project and they did a really great job at making my paper design into an actual object. I felt very included in the design process so I would highly reccomend them if you're looking to get something custom made -Thanks a lot guys! =)

What an amazing place , Cass was so very friendly and helpful , even when I was interrupting teabreak . I found some old dado rail , length of thin oak and half sheet of ply , the only thing I couldn’t get that was on my list was a length of live edge , not because they didn’t have extensive stock but because it would have meant leaving my friend behind . I would be here weekly for all my timber needs if it were closer to home . I love the fact that all the timber is being recycled. Fantastic place , well worth a visit .

‘Staff’ we’re basically a load of youngsters sat around a picnic table eating and drinking tea. They couldn’t be bothered with customers! I felt like I’d just walked into a strangers house whist they were eating their dinner. It felt REALLY uncomfortable!! They basically ignored me.

Great resource staffed by REALLY helpful people. I used it for materials for raised beds but there is so much more!

I've had a great experience with these guys. I brought some lovely ash slabs to make a bed. I had some of it machined down in their workshop which they were happy to do at a very reasonable price. Very helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely be going back there. Cheers BWRP!
