10/10 - AMAZING WORKMANSHIP - Simon was wonderful. He worked extremely hard and was always open to our "tweaks"....Joanna Checkatrade - see more on..
I have worked as a carpenter for over 30 years - I like to combine traditional quality craftmanship & techniques with elegant designs for today’s lifestyles & requirements. As with many craft professions, carpentry is a lifelong learning experience & each project is a further learning opportunity. My growing appreciation for the beauty and sustainability of natural woods has led me on this new journey of freestanding furniture making & it has has enabled me to entirely design my own work as well as transition to using more natural solid woods. I like to create pieces with ‘character’ & love to use contrasting colours and inlays. I also use veneers as well as solid wood as this is a highly efficient & sustainable use of wood, as well as cost effective...''No two pieces of wood are ever the same - I love its wide array of stunning characteristics''
Below are some examples of my work - which can be fully customized to your space, tastes & needs…I can advise and help design a bespoke piece - perhaps a small kitchen table or bespoke island for your newly built kitchen-diner, a bespoke desk for a home office, or reception table for a new restaurant, gallery or salon - I can build to any size and you can choose your own preferred wood/veneer, types of legs, handles, finish….you can see some of our wood choices below…'Teamwork makes the dreamwork' as they say!
