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.

Very human humans

This is not your typical ‘success story’ with happy endings. Brian arrived at GalGael’s workshop with a cynicism bordering on healthy - "I thought GalGael was just another programme to keep the DWP off my back for a few more months while I got on with the business of drinking myself to death, no big deal".
How to refer

GalGael’s activities offer folk a place of work, some respect and some tools. We work to create a therapeutic environment however what we offer is firmly based in practical skills. So we are reliant on ongoing working relationships with our partner agencies in supporting people with complex needs.
