For prestigious commissions and exceptional projects, where the finest quality of oak is required. Hewins Superior Grade is meticulously produced to the highest grading we can offer. During the production process, detailed attention is paid to the grade and grain of the oak and the result is superior quality, consistent sections of oak. This grade is often used in bespoke furniture commissions, yacht fitouts and unique internal projects, where only the best will do.
Clear clean sections with straight grain, minimal allowance of features and broadly consistent in colour. 85% of the sections will be knot free on 3–4 faces. Each piece is graded on its most affected 2 linear metres, ensuring that each piece is of very high overall quality. There is a restricted allowance for small knots of up to 12mm in diameter in some of the pieces, but these will be the exception. Isolated pin size knots of under 5mm diameter can be included if they are not a distinct visual contrast. There is no tolerance for splitting, dead knots or sap. Also known as a super prime grade.
For sections of 200mm or more in width, we would recommend assessing if these pieces need to be clean and clear on both faces. We offer a Superior Good One Face grade which could save money, timber and potential lead time with these wide sections. Enquire with the Sales Team for more information on this option if you feel this could be appropriate to your requirements.
Due to the nature of this grade, lead times on this product may be slightly longer than normal.
