Got this beauty finished off today, with delivery of the two small cabinets to complete the set to our lovely clients in Bottesford.

These modular walnut cabinets were designed to have complete flexibility in the layout, and with a definite nod to mid-century designs. The simple lines, classic walnut tones, shapely leg, and concave handles all make for a wonderful centre piece for the clients family space.

The two small cabinets have hand-routered fluting down the door fronts. This helps to elevate the design without going board by applying the detail on all the doors, and also helps the interior styling by tying it in to a similar design the kitchen island opposite.

Lovely to be home on this sunny Sunday! This weekend has been all about some good family time and relaxing in between an amazing Wisley and then heading out on the road again for the next show at Hever Castle in Kent next week. Very important to us as a small family business to ensure the family part is not forgotten in between all the business!

So pleased to be able to get this beautiful bar installed today in a stunning home near Reading. Made in glorious golden oak to link in the oak framed building, with fully integrated LED lighting. This bespoke display was made by us in our workshop in rural Nottinghamshire, and forms an amazing a centre piece for the clients entertaining space. Can’t wait to see it all lit up in the evenings with an enviable collection of drinks on display! Make mine an old fashioned please!! 🍸

.led was the supplier for the LEDs, was the supplier for the timber.

Had a great time visiting to see the incredible carpentry exhibition. The Japanese skills on show really are impeccable - the precision, technique, and artistry on display is truly stunning. And the video on techniques was mind blowing… well worth a visit if you’re in Kensington!

This one’s been a headache to make… huge bar unit for a client near Reading. This will form the centre piece of their entertaining space. Made in oak veneered board with solid oak edging, it’s been finished in a satin lacquer and is now ready for the LEDs to be fitted into each box to provide the wow factor. Hopefully witting this next week so we’ll share some photos of the final piece very soon…

Well that was a day… we’ve been doing this for a good 12 years now and today was the first time getting a flat tyre whilst out on delivery! Ofsted then turn up at the school where Roz is a governor so she’s called in to help with that, and then our son gets sent home from school with chicken pox! 😱

Fortunately we’re surrounded by amazing family and friends to get us out of a sticky situation, so called on the grandparents for childcare, hitched the trailer up to the trusty old Volvo, collected Nick on route (thanks for picking him up), and off to Derbyshire to finish fitting the rest of the library suite we started last week! But doesn’t it look great now it’s all in place? And fortunately it all went in like a dream…

A vast amount of adjustable shelving, great cupboard space, and some drop-down desk space. All trimmed up with some beautiful handles from for a luxurious finishing touch! If today was sent to test us, I hope we passed and don’t have a day like that again anytime soon 😅

Another lovely day ☀️ and another lovely delivery to make! This time it’s this striking little bench, a stunning console table, and this amazing display shelf, all made from one piece of burr oak from our friends at

For the bench and table, both made with steam bent oak and angled maple legs supporting a very substantial burr oak top.

The display shelf has a nice organic feel to it and was made using the offcuts from the table, with minimalist glass shelves spliced through the natural oak to a great effect.

Now at home in an immaculate home in Warwickshire, we’re delighted to have been asked to design and make these items for a client with great taste and decor in their home.

What a beautiful day to be working outside! This huge bookcase was installed in a stunning home in Derbyshire, and we found a great little sun trap to work on the fine fitting. This is part one of a two phase job - more to come next week!

Had a great day in the sun with the family yesterday in Lincoln, and finished the day with a trip to the cathedral to take a look at the amazing big oak table on display. It’s an incredible piece of work and the scale of the thing is quite astonishing. As good as the woodwork is, the metalwork underneath was fascinating too. Kudos to all the skilled craftspeople involved in making the table and so glad to see a very special piece of wood being cherished and admired so much.
