We’ve been busy recently – well, we’re always busy to be honest – making a large fully fitted wardrobe for clients who own a large cottage with irregular spaces, walls and ceilings. These photos give you an idea of the work involved – cutting, sanding, measuring, planing – and then doing a complete dry build. Then it’s all taken …
Another bespoke kitchen completed – in Stone
We’ve just finished installing one of our bespoke kitchens for our clients in Stone. These are some on-site photos that taken on our phone as we were finishing up, but they give you an idea of the scale and look of the project, which we designed, built and installed, working with the clients throughout the process.

Dreaming of Devon skies

When the weather is fine, there can’t be many other places in the world that are as beautiful as this. …

Laburnum has always been used traditionally for wood working, but its popularity waned somewhat after tropical hardwoods were imported over the last century. Laburnum is a very hard, dense wood, and has been used for cabinet …
