Paul Hodgkiss – Furniture Maker
"We at Paul Hodgkiss Designs have been buying our home grown timbers from Loch Awe Hardwoods for around 6 years now. It is a sheer delight to get away from the workshop and all its business but the delight has to be in the amazing customer service, Ian is so accommodating, working hard to mill the right cut for us. His attention to quality milling, detail in stacking, storing and drying means our wastage is minimal. Ian also keeps up great communication regarding timbers coming through his mill and looks after us brilliantly.
It honestly is such a treat to work with Loch Awe Hardwoods, it makes a work day a magic day!"

Colin Meikle – Colin Meikle & Son Joiners & Builders
"I have found Loch Awe Hardwoods excellent to deal with, we build a lot of projects like new builds, extensions etc. that require certain timbers that aren’t available from other merchants, we find the quality and service to be excellent and they go out their way to get materials done quickly. I have even phoned in the morning for an emergency and they managed to cut my materials so they were ready same day. Also, the timbers they stock is vast and produced to a very high standard, they are very good to deal with, when speaking with them nothing is a problem, I highly recommended their services."
AK McIlvride – Architectural Illustration
"What a jewel in the Wilds of Argyll Loch Awe Hardwoods are! Not only can they help realise any timber based project, from a mantle piece to entire structural
frame provision but they positively inspire such! Occasionally projects are limited by (practical) material availability, particularly in rural location, but Ian and his team have not only risen to recent project brief requirement way above and beyond what one might expect but they positively encourage pushing the boundary of project design where timber is required in any shape or form. Ian’s yard has unlocked so much potential in what can be practically specified and constructed in Argyll. There is little he and his team don’t know about wood in construction and finishings and if there is a gap in the knowledge they’ll soon fill it. As an Architectural Designer I now consider Ian and his team as collaborators in the timber based projects I undertake. They have never failed to provide for my designs or my clients’ needs on time,
or even in advance! An invaluable asset to the Sustainable Architecture of Argyll and beyond. They recently provided around 90% of the entire material provision used on an Island Bothy, had they not been there the project would not have been practical.
Thanks, appreciation and absolute recommendation!"

Ian is a great help; he sends real time images that we can pass on to our customers so that they can see the quality of raw stock that will become their precious native veneer. What a service they say and Ian makes this easy for us effectively providing live marketing. Watch this space and get yourself a good relationship with Loch Awe Hardwoods a caring sawmill of the future for sustainability."
Aidan Gregory – Aidan Gregory Building Services Ltd.
"I have been using Loch Awe Hardwoods for the last few years to supply various timber for my building projects. They have supplied me with cladding boards, posts and structural building timber. All timber has been of the highest quality and Ian and the team have been a delight to deal with. Every effort has been made to fulfil the orders as quickly as possible and Ian’s expertise has been invaluable. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough and will continue to use them in the future."
