A staked bench made from cherry and spalted beech, locally sourced from .

The top is attached with a sliding dovetail joint allowing for seasonal movement. The legs pe*****te through the top and are glued and wedged in place.

This bench really is made to last with robust joinery and of course is lovingly hand crafted!

Chair production line happening….

29/04/2023

Yesterday I received my first order for 6 of these chairs!

I can’t say enough about how chuffed (and relieved) I am.

I know I can make, but there’s a big leap between that and someone willing to put their trust in you and believe in what you’re doing.

I’ve got to say a big thanks to my man Rob at (with whom this is the start of an exciting collaboration…)

….now on to the making!

Prototype dining chair in oak.

Let me know what you think!

These will be going on the website soon, so if you’d like a set of artisan made dining chairs using local hardwoods, then do get in touch.

We are happy discuss other design ideas you may also have.

👉 My workshop is quiet

👉 I am self reliant - I can resharpen my tools as soon as they're dull

👉 I don't need a large workshop to house loads of expensive tools

👉 I can adapt quickly to a change in design

👉 I don't have to spend hours sanding (as my hand plane does that for me in one swipe)

👉 I get a sweat on (so I don't need gym membership)

👉 They're fun to use (though my mood can swing to dire frustration in an instant)

👉 They improve manual dexterity (meaning I can now cut a straight slice from a loaf)

Just a bit of fun - I do use power tools/machines for the more laborious tasks.

But I do encourage others to pick up a hand tool and get crafting - too many are missing this outlet these days.

Feel free to add to the list above in the comments section (yes, I'm talking to you power tool users).
