If traditional craftsmanship is what you would like to commission then I will make bespoke furniture to your specific requirements. Friendly and conscientious, I have a wealth of experience as an independent cabinet maker within the East Devon 'Blackdown Hills'. I am passionate about using English timber unless client or job specifications dictate the use of imported species. My hand-made furnitur
e is freestanding or fitted - created with care and attention by myself and includes kitchens, chairs, tables, bedrooms and more. Please view the photo albums on this page for further inspiration. So if you are in Devon, Dorset or Somerset and require kitchen, study, bedroom, dining or living room pieces then call for a no obligation personal preliminary consultation. About myself & the business:
After a career change in 1992, I took a year out to undertake a full time furniture making and design course at the prestigious ‘Rycotewood’ college in Thame, Oxfordshire. I then took employment with a local furniture maker to start my ‘on the job’ training. This lasted until 2000 when (with my young family) I moved to Devon. In 2003 I started my own small business. My passion for the use of local English, or at least British, timber started very early on in my work. I believe the timber has more character and obviously the carbon footprint is much reduced compered to imported species. My workshop is located five miles from Honiton and within the beautiful 'Blackdown Hills' which straddle the borders of East Devon and Somerset. My working practice takes me to clients’ homes to discuss the various options open to them. Then after initial design and costs are agreed a commission is undertaken. I will design, make, finish, deliver and fit, if necessary, personally. I believe in continuity from start to finish.
