Scotland retains a vibrant high quality furniture and finished products (garden furniture etc) sub-sector.

There has been a recent uplift in both the production and training of these specialist skills in Scotland.  Whilst this niche market will remain a relatively small part of the total industry it is important in raising awareness of the wider industry and also in the forest resource that supplies it.

High quality hardwood furniture provides a market for hardwood timber, which is an under utilised resource in Scotland.  Growing this market offers a direct opportunity to grow awareness of Scottish Timber placing an emphasis on sustainable forest management, quality design and exceptional craftsmanship.
