A creative approach to woodworking, design and craftsmanship.

Bespoke pieces in British hardwoods with natural colours and grains carefully selected for balance and harmony.

Perfectly proportioned furniture with a crisp finish and fine detailing.

Traditional joints and hand tools are used extensively, natural oil finishes bring out the beauty of the wood.

Its furniture that will last for generations, carefully considered and built by skilled hands.

Seats and legs all sanded, steam bent bows tenoned assembled and sanded, back legs finished, top rails in progress, then put it all together - easy...
My steamer set up, that'll teach Dave to leave his brewing kit in my workshop for so long. Anyone for some distilled oak juice? Full of natural goodness. #steambending #steamer
Dining chair I've been working on, just setting out the bottom rails in MDF before making them for real in oak. Still a long way to go but they're starting to take shape. #diningchair #chairdesign
This one was finished before Christmas, I went back last week with my studio lights and camera. Now looking great with the shelves in use. The top corners were key to the design, echoing the curve of the plasterwork above. #drinkscabinet #edinburgh
