Recent work
Off the bench, into the house
A few of last year's jobs: what they were made of, how long they took and what we'd do the same again.

How a commission goes
From the first visit to the last screw
Seven steps, usually twelve to sixteen weeks. You'll know what happens next, and when.
1 hour, at your home
Measure-up
We come to the room, talk through what you need and measure everything twice: walls, floors, the odd corner.
Within 2 weeks
Drawing
A scale drawing of the room and the piece, with a front, a plan and the details that matter.
With the drawing
Fixed quote
One price for making and fitting, the timber and finish named, nothing left to surprise you.
When you say yes
Deposit
Pay a deposit when you're happy and your weeks on the bench are booked.
6–10 weeks
Making
Timber is chosen, machined and left to settle, then cut, jointed and finished in the workshop.
1–5 days
Fitting
We fit it ourselves, scribed to your walls, and leave the room as we found it.
After 6 months
Aftercare
We come back after a season to adjust doors and drawers once the wood has met your house.

From the journal
Notes from the bench
How we choose oak
Kiln dried, quarter sawn, from forty miles up the valley. What we look for in a board, and why we let it rest before cutting.
Timber
Why we scribe to the wall
No wall in an old house is straight. Instead of filling the gap, we cut the cupboard to fit it.
Fitting · Technique
Looking after an oiled table
Hardwax oil is easy to live with. A cloth, a little oil once a year and a few things to avoid.
Care
Offcuts, four times a year
A short letter from the workshop: what's on the bench, which weeks are still free and the odd tip for looking after wood. Nothing else.
Tell us about the room
Send a few photos and rough sizes, or book an hour for us to come and measure. Either way, you'll have a drawing and a fixed price before anything is cut.
