Beechwood Staves
Beechwood Staves and Lags

STEWART have been manufacturing traditional beechwood staves and lags for over 120 years, and can confidently claim quality second to none.

Prime Quality Wood

STEWART only use prime quality, temperate grown beechwood, naturally seasoned for at least 2 years before the billets are machined to a tolerance on all dimensions, and checked by test assembly on gauge rollers. 

Sealed for Stability

The wood is sealed against moisture to prevent distortion, and the finished staves are packed against tropical humidity.

Long life pins

The pins are manufactured from a special non-standard carbon steel, tempered in accordance with the pin requirement

Stewart Specifications

Each stave is marked with a unique STEWART specification for easy re-ordering, and a wide range of designs for all types of machine is available.

Laminated wood staves and lags

Stewart laminated wood lags are made of beechwood veneer  impregnated  with a phenolic resin. Although laminated wood cannot be compared with our METALAG staves, STEWART laminated wood lags are fully competitive with those of other manufacturers.

Flat or round pins can be supplied for Rag Tearing and Waste Opening.

Steel and Aluminium Faced Staves and Lags
