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.

Coming to us with a DIY project

We believe in creating community by working and learning together. We are open to anyone who wants to join us, but we try to be fair and offer more support to those who need it the most. We will ask you to play along with our ethos of inclusion, and accept our priority for fellow learners with complex needs.
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.
