Inspirational ways with wood

Green oak (unseasoned) has formed the structure of many historic buildings and offers tremendous potential for creating modern buildings of outstanding beauty. Timber construction organisation TRADA has organised a one-off evening CPD event on the use of green oak in construction.

The event is aimed at anyone with an interest in green oak, including designers, specifiers, engineers and carpenters, and CPD certificates will be issued, where appropriate.
