We were honoured to be involved in the design and manufacture of this special piece for the Friends of St Machar's Cathedral. This prayer table was made to allow members to privately write their personal prayer and post it into the box which is incorporated into the top of the table. The box can then be removed and taken forward to be blessed. Made from European Oak, the laminated arches mirror the Cathedral's beautiful stained glass windows.

A wee post from our finisher Jenny.......

The Kiltwalk is 5 weeks today! I've tried to be pretty quiet about it, as I'm very aware times are a bit tough for people just now.
I love the training for this walk though and am so lucky that I live somewhere pretty beautiful to go out in. This year Angie, Corinna and I are walking for New Arc Wildlife Rescue. They are busy all year and charitable donations make the world of difference to them. Check out their page and see the amazing work they do. On that note, any spare pennies would be very gratefully received 🙏🏼

I'll pop the link below. Many thanks 😘

If you came to see us at NEOS last September, you'll have caught a glimpse of this beautiful desk before we started its restoration. Made in 1884 by Cutler & Co in Buffalo, New York, from American walnut it really is the rolls royce of desks and has been an absolute treat to work on. We gave it a full rebuild and refinish and it now sits pride of place in our customers office.

Thank you for making our treat every week.
I decided to keep a tally this year out of curiosity and it transpires we got through a staggering 196 scones......nearly £100 each! 🤣 We do tell everyone that you make the best and facts can't be wrong. Merry Christmas to you and we look forward to the 9th of January!
p.s A scone loyalty card would be great idea! 😉

Every now and again something comes in for restoration and we just know it's going to be a cracker! This lovely beech arm chair was hanging together and no more. A firm favourite of its owner, it had been well used and loved. It has several interesting repairs-the fencing wire was a first for us!! It required a full makeover of dismantle, rebuild, strip, oil and a new seagrass seat.

A beautiful wee chair completed this week by one of our class ladies. It had everything - a total rebuild, strip, refinish and finally a new rush seat. Just goes to show what can be achieved, it looked sad when it came in and now looks fabulous!
Check out our stories to see it from start to finish.
