The Scaff Shop News and Info

How chunky is too chunky? Scaffold boards are already chunky enough as they are, right? Wrong! WE FOUND SOME CHUNKIER ONES AND WE LOVE THEM.

Last week we introduced a new range - our new and reclaimed pallet wood. At that point we were only offering both the new and reclaimed options as "unfinished", i.e. not sanded, oiled, or given any of our other special treatments.

We're pleased to be able to advise that we can offer the same great wood, but now in a whole variety of options.

Pallet wood is like the scaff board's little sibling. It arguably has a far wider usage in it's original form, and is found not only on building sites but also the world over on shipping routes and in warehouses. We all know a pallet when we see one, and if you have found your way to this blog then you are probably also someone who sees a pallet and thinks "I wonder if that's going spare, I could make all sorts with that...".

We may specialise in reclaimed boards, but we love new boards too! Our main focus has always been our Reclaimed Scaffold Boards. People love these for their character and rustic charm, and they'll always be the core of our business. However, many of you love the scaff board's shape and size but want a newer version.

Since our blog post from 4th January titled "Attention all Makers, Professionals, and Businesses!" we've had a great response on the trade side of things. Alongside the blog, we reached out to various makers and woodworkers on Instagram and through their websites, and we couldn't quite believe how many people and businesses were looking for a good supply of scaffold boards...

We now offer all our finishes in small sample blocks! This means you can try one or more of the finishes and we'll send you a sample of scaffold board (approx 10cm x 10cm) in the finish you have requested. Think of it like a swatch, but made from wood rather than fabric!
