Launched in December 2011 the association UPCB unites 15 small woodworking businesses in the promotion and valorisation of their technical know-how applied to multiple and contemporary uses of chestnutwood.
Cabinet-makers, woodworkers, carpenters, sculptors, feuillardiers, sawyers : a whole range of trades represented in our group intent on promoting the qualities of locally transformed chestnutwood.
Whatever their trade our members are proud of the historical roots of chestnut woodworking in our country regions.
By uniting we strive to consolidate and to develope our modern uses of chestnutwood whilst doing all within our means to assure the survival of ancestral techniques and applications.

Modern machines and contemporary product demands have marginalized ancient practices but the matter employed to-day is still that of yesteryear with all its' remarkable qualities of strength and beauty.
Times have changed but centuries-old traditions are still alive in the attitudes and the expressions of our members designing chestnutwood now for to-day and for to-morrow.
