Our Charpoys
Every charpoy we make is unique.
The process
Our charpoys are handmade. The process begins with the careful selection
of choice hardwood timbers which must be well seasoned and of handsome
and uniform grain. We are always keen to use recycled timber and will
only accept certified wood from reputable mills.
The joiners then proceed to build the frames paying special attention
to the dimensions and the mortice and tenon joints (no nails or screws
are used).
The frames are now ready to be finished to the customer’s needs.
Typically this involves applying a wood stain followed by four or
more coats of varnish. This process is carefully checked at each step
to ensure a top class finish on all our charpoys.
Knurled Crossband |
At last the stringers are now ready to weave their magic. This process
starts with what we call the knurled crossband, followed by the main
weave and finally the tension strings are added. The final process
of tightening is rigorous and repeated many times in order to get
tension just right. The cord we use is polypropylene and is specially
made for Stringbedco. It looks and feels very natural. The charpoys
are then stamped with an identity number and finally wrapped, ready
for delivery. |
