Choosing old oak or air-dried oak means choosing material with a soul. At Frank Pouwer, we do not see wood as a simple building material, but as a living history book. Whether it concerns robust wagon planks that have thundered over European railways for decades or beams from centuries-old barns: this wood is alive. It is precisely this history that provides a unique appearance, but it also requires the right care.
