Our original Camden handmade bed base, but made here as a special edition in solid English Oak. This classic design features a bold panel headboard, complimented by the elegant curves of the legs and gently softened edges. Crafted by hand in our Sheffield workshop, this special edition batch of Double (135x190cm), King-size (150x200cm) and Super-King (180x200cm) models are made from locally-sourced English Oak from Albion Timber. If you are interested in another size or design in this special timber, please do not hesitate to get in touch. About English Oak: Compared with American Oak (which we use as standard for all of our wooden beds), English Oak is much more characterful. Growing, harvesting and replenishing English Oak is a much smaller operation, resulting in a more natural look. The colour is a beautiful golden shade, ranging from pale straw to deep honey browns. This timber features a strong grain and “Cats Paw” clusters of knots peppered throughout. This “Pippy” Oak is the result of the open nature of our woodlands. The easy light penetration encourages a quick growth of buds on the main tree trunks. These growths penetrate deep into the heart wood of the tree, and when cut they appear as ‘cat’s paws’ or patches of burr on the board. The grain swirls around these knots and clusters, creating beautiful wild patterns and figures. These natural variations are highly prized by furniture makers for truly unique pieces! These pips make stunning timber for special projects. You can find out more about this special collaboration with Albion Timber and English Oak in our blog post – Introducing Our English Oak Bed Collection. The Camden is also available to order in our standard range of sizes and hardwoods. You can find it just here. Also available with a chevron headboard in the form of our Hoxton bed base. All our wooden beds come with sprung beech slats for extra comfort and to increase the life of your mattress. We also supply non-slip matting with this bed base to keep your mattress in place. Every bed is made to order. Our lead-time is usually around 8 weeks ( delivery). This can fluctuate throughout the year, please do get in touch for the most up to date information. Lacquer Finish: Our ‘natural’ look lacquer finish, named for its clarity, allows you to appreciate the myriad colours and subtle variations in tone of natural timber. It retains a very subtle, soft sheen which protects the timber from grease marks and some stains. Easy self assembly. Click here to see our simple self assembly instructions.
