After 27 years of hard work and fun, we have decided to cease trading from Upper Farm from 2nd March 2024.
From April 2024, DalmannUK will take over our timber/woodturning blanks business.
We first started trading with Dalmann UK in 2014 and they have become almost our sole supplier of quality 'Exotic' timber and blanks.
We know they share our no-quibble attention to detail and service, so we are delighted that our legacy will continue.
We are now offering online and in the shop, discounts on ALL items except woodturning blanks which will remain at 2022/23 prices.
We will continue buying in timber cutting and woodturning blanks until the end of January and will make orders with some suppliers so our customers are not left in the lurch during the run up to Christmas.
We will of course be giving DalmannUK transitional support during 2024.
Please see our full closure announcement in our About Us page.
Exceptionally amongst our ‘Exotics’, Aussia Burrs, Banksia Pods, Indian Ebony and Olivewood will be discounted to clear.
This may be your opportunity to stock up or buy that long-coveted machine!
Discounts are based on prices we published from in January 2023 and are the nett (discounted) prices shown online.

Vouchers
Valid S&B vouchers are still good currency for our offers and may be redeemed online, over the phone or in the shop as always. Dalmann UK will honour any outstanding S&B valid voucher after the take-over but please note they only sell timber and blanks. If that does not fit with your plans, please Contact Us for a full refund before April 30th 2024.
Manufacturer's Warranties
In the rare event you need to make a warranty claim on any machine bought from us, either before our clearance or during, please contact the following:
Record Power products: technical@recordpower.co.uk
Robert Sorby/Nova products: service@craft-supplies.co.uk
Charnwood products: sales@charnwood.net
We will continue to monitor and respond to emails to the stilesandbates addresses so do Contact Us if you have any queries.
And finally . . .
We anticipate (hope!!) our shop being something like an ants’ nest with the top chopped off during the clearance period so please bear with us if we take a little longer than usual to process your order.
Our shop Epos system updates to our website every 30 minutes so we should not sell the same last item(s) twice but in the rare event this happens between updates, we will contact customers for advice and a full refund if necessary.
All prices and discounts are based on a complex spreadsheet encompassing many thousands of products across various departments. Please forgive any fat-finger errors which we will rectify if notified by email.
