CNC cutting

Accessibility: Reclaimed timbers are extremely difficult to source in the desired dimensions and species, and the sources are often inconsistent and unreliable.
Dimensional stability: Reclaimed timbers usually come from old barns or grain elevators and are often a century old. Those original timbers had large variances in their cross sections and have since shrunk, twisted or cracked over decades.
Cost: Reclaimed timbers are not only very expensive to source, but it is also very time consuming to joint them properly. It is much easier and better to build with dimensionally square timbers.

The Hundegger ROBOT-Drive joinery machine cuts our timber products using fully-automated software and cutting tools. The drafting team uses CAD technology to design and export 3D models directly to the ROBOT-Drive. Our CNC operator then reviews the 3D model before loading the material to start the cutting process. The ROBOT-Drive advantage is the speed and precision at which the timbers are produced, saving time and cost for each project. It cuts at a precision of 1/32” over 30’!

LEAR Construction has recently has the opportunity to work alongside Woodpecker European Timber Framing on some project and we can unequivocally state that they have been an excellent trade partner to work with. The excellent communication and framing knowledge is bested only by their final product. Our collective clients are always very pleased with the final workmanship and results they have invested in with Woodpecker. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for future tenders or to our construction peers within industry.
