Oakland Veneered Coffins with Raised Lids
Why Oakland Veneered Coffins with Raised Lids?
Oak veneer is sourced from Forest Stewardship Council certified European forests. Certification guarantees the sources are from a sustainable well managed source. The oak tree is selected, felled and boiled in water to soften the timber. The tree is then placed in a large ‘bacon slicer’ machine which slices the oak into 3mm thick veneer slices for use on the coffins. Every slice differs according to the position of the cut on the tree trunk. Many effects on the veneer are natural and depending on individual taste, either enhances or detracts from its appearance and the overall effect created for the coffins. The slices are trimmed and graded for conformity. These slices are then matched and stitched together to form the veneer sheet for the coffin. The oak is then ready to be bonded to chipboard or medium density fibre board.
Choose from a range of oakland veneered coffins with the added, and beautiful, decorative feature of a raised lid.
