Custom Bespoke Woodwork Built to Your Design

If you can picture it in wood, we can probably build it.

Every piece that leaves the shop is made by hand, one at a time. Whether you have a clear design in mind, a tired piece of furniture that deserves a second life, or a stack of old lumber with a story worth keeping — I’d love to hear about it.

Bespoke — built to your design

This is the heart of what I do. Bring me a sketch on a napkin, a Pinterest board, a room that needs a piece nothing on the high street will fit, or just a rough idea — and I’ll work with you from drawing to delivery.

Almost anything that can be made from wood is on the table: dining tables, kitchen islands, beds, bookcases, desks, benches, sideboards, kids’ furniture, small boxes, garden pieces, one-of-a-kind gifts. If you’re not sure whether it’s possible, ask — the answer is almost always yes.

How it works

  1. Tell me about it. A few sentences, rough dimensions, and any reference photos are plenty to get started.
  2. Design & quote. I’ll come back with a sketch, a wood recommendation, a price, and a realistic timeline — usually within a few days.
  3. Deposit & build. A deposit secures your slot and the timber. You’ll get progress photos as the piece comes together.
  4. Delivery. Hand-finished, signed, and delivered (or collected). Care notes included.
Recent bespoke work has included a 90 cm wide oak 3-legged circular dining table for 2 or 3 people, a meranti wall-hung sheving unit, designed to fit in a non-square corner, a bepoke set of drawers and shelves for a studio appartment, and an extra large serving platter made from end grain pieces.

2 · Upcycle

Upcycle a piece you already love

Got a piece of furniture that’s tired, the wrong size, or stuck in the wrong decade — but you can’t bear to part with it? Bring it in. I’ll keep the soul of the piece and give it a long second life.

Upcycling sits somewhere between a careful restoration and a small rebuild. I might strip and refinish, replace tired parts, change proportions, add storage, fit new legs, convert a dresser to a vanity, turn a wardrobe into a bookcase — whatever the piece is asking for. The goal is something you’ll keep using for another generation.

How it works

  1. Send a few photos. Front, sides, any damage, and a measuring tape in shot if possible.
  2. I take a look. I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth upcycling, what I’d suggest, and roughly what it’ll cost.
  3. Drop off or collection. Local collection can usually be arranged.
  4. You get it back, better. Refinished, repaired, and ready for the next chapter.
Recent upcycles include a very basic and worn coffee table renewed and reimaginged, with clasic curves and a glass smooth table top, turning a tired work horse into a functional and beautiful piece of furniture you are proud to show off.

Tell me about your piece

Photos really help. After sending this, reply to my email with 3–5 photos (front, sides, any damage close-up). I’ll quote much more accurately with them.

3 · Reclaim & remake

Old wood, brand new piece

Sometimes a piece of furniture is beyond saving — but the wood inside it is beautiful, full of history, and far too good to throw away. This is where we take that old timber and turn it into something completely new.

Old church pews become kitchen tables. Tired oak wardrobes become floating shelves. A grandfather’s workbench becomes a desk for the grandchild who never met him. You bring the wood (or the piece it’s hiding in) and tell me what you’d like instead — I’ll work out what’s possible and design around what the timber will give us.

How it works

  1. Show me the wood. Photos of the source piece, rough size, what species you think it is (or I’ll identify it).
  2. We agree on the new piece. I’ll suggest what your wood is best suited to — sometimes the timber leads the design.
  3. Salvage & build. I’ll break down the original piece, mill the usable boards, and build the new one.
  4. Keep the offcuts. Any leftover wood and any keepsake parts (handles, plaques, name carvings) come back to you.
Recent upcycles include a Cypress wood laundry basket, turned into two elegant coffee tables, an old and broken garded bench, disassembled, planed down and sanded back, then build up as a unique set of shelves.

Give old wood a new life

Photos of the source piece (and any maker’s marks, carvings, or hardware you want preserved) make a huge difference. Reply to my email with images once you’ve sent this.

Not sure which one fits?

Send me a message anyway. Half of my best projects started with “I’m not sure if this is something you do, but…” — it almost always is.
