Timber and firewood

We produce a number of Scottish hardwoods - often by working with partners within Historic Environment Scotland and Glasgow City Council to bring locally produced timber for sale to the public and for use in our products. We can sell air or kiln dried timber. Our stock usually includes oak, ash, elm, cherry, holy and sycamore.

Our timber is milled on our own Woodmizer portable sawmill.

We also have a fully equipped machine shop so once you've selected a piece of timber we can machine to your exact requirements.

Our mobile sawmill (with operator) is available for hire on a day or half day basis. We can mill timber anywhere with reasonable vehicle access. If you've got trees coming down speak to us about having it processed in to timber.

At Work in the Ruins: An Evening with Dougald Hine, Alastair McIntosh and friends

An Evening with Dougald Hine, Alastair McIntosh, Caroline Ross & Dougie Strang to mark the publication of Dougald's At Work in the Ruins: Finding Our Place in the Time of Science, Climate Change, Pandemics & All the Other Emergencies
AGM December 2022

Hello out there... the months are rolling on and as the wheel of the seasons turn we find ourselves getting set for another annual general meeting. If you're anything like us, then perhaps the pandemic messed with your sense of the passing of time. Whatever, we're glad to be extending a warm invitation to declare yourself welcome at our Annual General Meeting on Thursday 1 December.
A new state

Govan Free State: living in the early days of a better nation. So COP26 is coming to town, about the same time as GalGael enter our 25th year. And so we thought what more appropriate way to mark all this than to declare a new free state - returning to our roots in Pollok Free State - an anti motorway camp. A playful, creative exploration of power and legitimacy in the face of climate emergency. An act of solidarity with those communities struggling for recognition of their territories.

Open Workshop Nights

We have a workshop with tools and benches so every Thursday we open that up to the wider community. Thursdays are open format - they very much depend on who shows up and what they bring. But we can promise workshop space, a basic meal and some banter.
