Charley Brentnall

Charley Brentnall has played a pivotal role in the renaissance of timber framing in this country. He started a timber framing and vernacular buildings business in 1979 and founded Carpenter Oak & Woodland in 1987.  He has over 30 years experience in timber construction and conservation, is a visiting lecturer at the Universities of Bath and York and a member of the Timber Framers Guild, Carpenters Fellowship, Icomos and SPAB. He is a past member of BWF British Standards committee.
Charley works with a fascination for wood, and strives for high standards of design, craftsmanship and service. He uses homegrown timbers, respecting the spirit of the materials in their natural form and finds a deep-seated enjoyment and fulfillment in the buildings that are created. Since 2006 has run a private conservation, design and construction consultancy firm, forming teams specific for each project. He believes in challenging precepts on how we live and work in the environment.
