JUST ARRIVED! PROBABLY THE LONGEST LASTING RAILWAY SLEEPERS IN THE WORLD!
They have an astonishing life-span, and a massive opportunity for those who are thinking in the long term. Suitable for all outside landscaping projects or internal furniture, these NEW unused tight-grained tropical hardwoods are beautiful. Originally imported into the UK for Network Rail, they originate from approved, responsibly managed forests. Amazing timbers.
