ABOUT OAK FRAME CARPENTRY
The team
At The Oak Frame Carpentry Company, all of our carpenters undergo extensive in-house training in traditional scribe carpentry. This involves mastering the use of hand tools and the principles of traditional oak frame building construction, including a wide range of joints and architectural forms. Our toolkits are equipped with specialist tools that have remained unchanged for centuries. While we integrate modern power tools for efficiency, much of our work is still meticulously finished using traditional techniques.
In an industry known for its high turnover, we take pride in retaining skilled carpenters for extended periods. More than half of our workforce has been with us for over 15 years, contributing significantly to our success.
We were pioneers in achieving qualifications in the oak framing NVQ “Structural Post & Beam Carpentry,” helping set a benchmark in the industry. As proud members and supporters of the Carpenters’ Fellowship, we actively promote high standards and extend this opportunity to all our workforce, ensuring continuous professional development.
At our core, we prioritise teamwork and the safety and well-being of our team members. This commitment fosters a culture of mutual reliance and effective communication, ensuring our practices are safe and productive
Anthony Mak
Managing Director
Anthony has spent considerable time in both the workshop and design office, studying the intricacies of the craft. With a Master’s Degree in Structural Engineering and a passion for carpentry, he discovered the perfect match in timber framing many years ago and hasn’t looked back since taking over the business in 2024. He’s also gone on to study a second Master’s Degree in Timber Building Conservation to broaden his knowledge and further develop the company’s expertise in traditional building techniques, conservation and the long-term preservation of historic timber structures.
