We’ve completed the fitting of the fully fitted cabinet and oak unit containing the family’s antique model ship that we told you about here – and we think it looks fantastic in place. The oak really contrasts beautifully with the large flagstones on the floor of the clients’ home, and the lighting that we designed and built into the unit …
Space (for) ships – and not only

Oakey dokey
Sometimes it might be difficult to appreciate the amount of work needed to turn what are pretty much rough slices of tree trunk into beautiful, finely finished bespoke furniture. The picture of the oak above shows in what sort of condition the oak is delivered to our workshops, in long and varying lengths of plank. Oak has been popular …
We’ve just finished transforming a client’s home with bespoke bookcases
One of the most satisfying aspects of the work we do is seeing the end result and the huge difference it usually makes to someone’s home, and the way that they are able to live in it and use it.

Workshop secrets: from a sketch to finished tables in oak and walnut
Ok, maybe not workshop secrets exactly, but a glimpse into how we work. In our last blog post, we published some very kind words from some clients about the two tables that we designed and built for them – you can see photography of the finished tables in that post. The photos …

Jean Hugh were very pleased, and seemed genuinely appreciative of the work we had done. We’re very pleased to say that they were happy to supply a testimonial to our work, and here it is. “Having spent …
Drawings – part of the process
Clear, precise drawings and a specification that shows out of what timber and with what fixtures a piece of furniture is to be made are all vital in ensuring that the client gets exactly what they want. If you read on our page about the process of how we work, you will see that the drawings and spec can then …
Bespoke ash bedroom furniture
We’re happy to say that this recently finished commission was for another repeat customer who asked us back again to design and build some bespoke furniture that was perfect for their particular needs, up in Milton Keynes.
