... the company
Inantuda Ltd is a traditional Oakwright carpentry company based in North Yorkshire. Our dedicated team of craftsmen specialise in the design and construction of oak timber frames that reflect both contemporary and vernacular styles.

... in the tradition
Oak timber framing as we know it dominated construction methods in Britain from around the 10th until the late 18th century with many fine examples still surviving in our cities, towns and countryside. Over the centuries, subtle changes in Oak frame and joint design have occurred but many of the framing skills and techniques employed by the medieval carpenter are still used today in the Inantuda framing yard.

... the result
The result is a structure that has managed to retain a simple integrity, a harmony between living space and aesthetic considerations, unparalleled, we believe, by any other construction method.

... the name
Inantuda is taken from a book detailing the effects of tropical deforestation on the indigenous peoples of Borneo.
