Welcome to Black Oak Wood: Garden Room And Sauna Craftsmanship Rooted in Nature and Tradition

May 2, 2025 | Garden Saunas

Black-Oak-Wood-Co-White

At Black Oak Wood, we believe that every piece of timber tells a story — and it’s our mission to honour that story through the thoughtful design of our Garden Room and Sauna, traditional techniques, and a deep respect for the materials we work with. Whether we’re handcrafting a custom dining table or constructing a bespoke garden room, our work is guided by integrity, sustainability, and timeless craftsmanship.

The Beauty of Yakisugi

Central to many of our designs is the ancient Japanese technique of Yakisugi — a method of charring wood to preserve and protect it, while enhancing its natural beauty. This striking finish has become a signature feature across our range, from handcrafted furniture to saunas and cladding, giving each piece a distinct, tactile character that only improves with age.

Garden Rooms & Outdoor Living

We don’t just build structures — we create spaces that blend seamlessly with the landscape. Our garden rooms are individually designed to suit your space, whether you’re after a serene home office, an artist’s retreat, or an entertainment hub. Built using premium materials and sustainable techniques, they’re designed for year-round comfort and lasting beauty.

Bespoke Saunas

One of our most loved offerings is our Yakisugi saunas — handcrafted outdoor sanctuaries that combine wellness with exceptional design. With natural aromas, precise joinery, and the calming influence of charred timber, our saunas are as beautiful to look at as they are to use.

Sustainability at Our Core

Every project we take on is underpinned by our commitment to sustainable sourcing and eco-conscious design. We work with responsibly harvested timber, favour natural finishes, and build with longevity in mind — so you can invest in pieces that are as ethical as they are beautiful.

A Personal Approach

We’re a small, family-run team who genuinely love what we do. That passion shows in the details — in the careful sanding of every edge, the thoughtful positioning of every board, and the relationships we build with every client. From the first sketch to the final polish, we’re with you every step of the way.
