A Client's Commission - A Showcase Design & Build...
The client was inspired by a double-legged coffee table she bought from me, and wanted the design enlarged to a specific size requirement.
The bespoke dining table was handmade & hand planed. Its unusual ‘picture frame’ design includes spalted beech with iroko framing, cedar double-legs, and a beech/cedar frame, crafted to allow the wood to expand naturally.
We had several chats and messages, I suggested materials and options, we discussed amendments to the coffee table design to ensure the strength and stability required in a dining table, and I shared some photos along the way as I progressed.
The client was delighted with the outcome - she now owns a truly unique piece with beautiful grain patterns and framing – a real statement piece for her home.
The table was built with 100% reclaimed woods including spalted beech, iroko, beech, and cedar (reclaimed from bed slatting!). The table is hand-finished with 2 coats of clear matt Fiddes hard wax oil to protect and preserve the wood and give resistance to spills and moisture.
If you would like to commission a piece for your own ‘showcase’, please get in touch to discuss your requirements and to receive a quote.
A Passion for Wood
I am passionate about reclaimed wood and its amazing imperfections, all of which add character and life to the pieces I make; it's at the heart of what I do.
Each piece is unique and handmade by me, entirely of reclaimed wood*, in my North-Somerset workshop.
I love how this adds to the pieces I make, and the visible history of the wood.
It takes longer and, frankly, isn't as easy as buying perfect timber ready to work with, but I believe the results and sustainability are worth it.

Some pieces are available from stock, can be made to order, or commissioned to your requirements.
One joy of wood is no two items are ever the same, so your piece will be unique to you, made from reclaimed wood.
If these aren't exactly what you're looking for, please get in touch. I'm always happy to discuss and understand your needs, and design and build for you, to the size and style you require.

My approach to wood
Making (and buying) pieces made from reclaimed wood (including storm damaged trees) supports sustainable practices reducing my (and your) carbon footprint.
It’s been estimated each fully-grown tree’s annual CO2 offset is 21.8 to 31.5 kg CO2, meaning 1 tonne of CO2 needs 31-46 trees to offset. See the data.
Wood is an amazing, beautiful, strong, and flexible product, but there is a huge amount already felled and in circulation.
I aim to source all my wood as locally as I can, using wood recycling centres in Weston-Super-Mare and Bristol. I prioritise local community interest companies focused on providing work-based training for people struggling with addiction, mental health issues and long-term unemployment.
*Reclaimed wood includes storm damaged trees, which adds to the excitement of what might be available at any given time. Occasionally I need to use non-reclaimed wood to finish or create a certain piece; if so, I aim to source materials from suppliers of FSC and PEFC certified timber with Chain of Custody (COC) certification.
