Frequently Asked Questions
When selecting which image to use, you should consider the following: We do not print with white ink, so any area in your photo that is white will not be printed and the grain will shine through. Lighter Colour’s will be more transparent and show more grain. Darker Colour’s will print with a fuller colour and show less wood grain. We will choose the piece of wood we think best shows off your image, but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have a specific requirement.
Obviously, the higher the resolution, the better the image quality. Smart Phone images work fine. As a rule, for our larger products, images should be as clear and as high resolution as possible. We will choose the piece of wood we think best shows off your image, but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have a specific requirement.
We mainly use a mixture of Ash and Sycamore, and sometimes Beech or Birch. The majority of our wood is sourced in and around The Lake District. All wood is sourced sustainably.
The surface of each piece of wood is sealed before going to print to ensure the colour is locked in. For pieces with bark, we strengthen the delicate bark area before it reaches you – but it still needs handling with care.
Each piece comes with a keyhole hanger embedded in the back (2 for our Longboards and Planks) for quick and easy hanging. Our Chunks can be hung on the wall or freestanding on a surface. We will choose the piece of wood we think best shows off your image, but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have a specific requirement.
Wood is a hardy product, but it still needs some TLC. Pieces with bark are particularly delicate. Make sure to use only a dry cloth when wiping dust off your print. Do not get it wet, and don’t use abrasive materials or chemical products to clean it. Although all our wood is seasoned before reaching The Sugar Shed, it’s a natural product so you may find over the years there are minor changes in it. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us before you make your purchase.
They are the natural wood grain present in all prints on wood. Because wood is a natural product, each piece will have its own unique markings, including different colours. This is what makes printing on wood so bespoke and original!

As each product is made from a different piece of wood each time, no product will be the same. It is a natural product and will have knots in places, different heights and the bark may not be 100%. We feel this adds to the special, unique product that made just for you.
