New project on the go! This one is going to be a desk. Got the base finished today finished in a lovely light rosewood stain. This was the first time I attempted making my own chunky legs and I'm very happy with the result. Tomorrow's job is to get the top finished and attached and will be finished in the same colour.

I always love it when I get a message from the new owner to tell me they are happy and show me how they have dressed the piece. They always do it way better than I can!

Another new project day....another build day completed. We are once again building a angled Leg Console table. Man these things are popular. This one is a bit smaller than the last but will be finished in the same gorgeous black as the previous table. Just waiting for the tabletop to finishing glueing then we can get on with sanding before staining and delivering to its new forever home.

I normally go for the natural wood finishes but I must admit this black is looking pretty gorgeous.

Well another build start day and we are back to building one of our very popular angled Leg Console tables. This one is quite a chunky boy measuring at over 5ft long. I believe our clients aim is to use it as a stand for her TV. This is the first time we will be finishing one of tables in black so I'm really excited to see how this one turns out!

Also first time I've used our new dowel jig and it's amazing. Glue up is practically flat already so sanding is going to be much easier this time round.

We have just finished a build project! This is a corner sofa to go with a kitchen table. The client specified the panelling and must have lots of storage and this seat boasts three large compartments including access to the wall sockets behind. The client wanted it unpainted as they planned to finish it themselves but we can also finish for customers as well. All built to the client's custom measurements to fit the space exactly. If you would like to enquire about this build or maybe your own custom furniture project you would like us to tackle, drop us a message!
