Hi everyone

I have been lucky to be sent a selection of bases from OAKWOOD STUDIO ( they are also supporting our competition Vignettes & Diorama )

Run by Richard Wharton who is also a supporter of the White Rose Club which we are I am sure aware of



A picture from Richards bench ..more variety of shapes and woods here !!

Overall comments

• A wide range of woods are available - if Richard can get the wood,then a base can be made !

• Woods include Yew, Oak, Mahogany , Iroka, Beech

• A post hole can be drilled if requested when ordering ( with size )

• Angled , straight, oblong, square, specialist shapes ...all are available

• Natural features in woods are incorporated like bumps and knots, twists ...all creating a very different result

• ALL bases have a felt underside , securely attached with a company label

The bases were received in a strong cardboard box inside the bases were surrounded by newspapers with each individual base also being packed in newspaper , on removing this the bases was then found in a clear bag ...Impressive packaging by all standards

• All bases are totally undamaged at the corners as a result of the packing quality

• Sharp and level edges , shaped lower parts of base

I was sent a variety of types , various woods, and styles, as you can see lets look at the different types ( there are more available ...just contact Richards )



Look at the lovely effects and colours that's been achieved





Angled and various heights in this style ( fitment holes can be drilled if requested with size ) , these are designed mainly for busts...again lovely woods



Perfect example of involving the burrs and knots that are found on trees , and a mass of different colours



Ideal for figures of course or smaller scaled busts, again nice staining and graining effects



Using a different type of wood to get a lower base definition ....nice variation in type



Really nice colour on this , very smooth surface and a good angle as you can see



Squared and straight edged again with some nice effect




This style is a pyramid type ideal for busts and prodced in a variety of woods



This is a RESIN base shaped as you can see , interesting version with many uses

FINAL THOUGHTS

There you have it a variety and I hasten to add very small amount of the bases that are available from Oakwood ,

Without a shadow you will not be disappointed with any of the bases you order , service will be first class , and the presentation of the bases the same

Without a doubt some of the best bases I have seen



HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

For almost 25 years the one and only source for all my bases! Excellent craftsmanship at a very honest price, most highly recommended!

Best bases in the UK for sure. Not the cheapest - but you get what you pay for. Quality every time, and a great range (including custom-made if you want it).
