What we believe

Modern living is fast. Fast food, fast fashion, fast furniture.

We have never seen it that way. A well made piece is not a purchase, it is an investment that outlives the person who bought it. Bring us something worth keeping and we will make it last another generation.

Georgian through Edwardian to mid century. Native and recycled native timbers, imported timbers, and modern materials when a client asks for them. Every job is different, which is the part we like.


From the workshop

Check out what we have been working on recently

A solid timber boardroom table for Skellerup, tired and marked after years of use. Stripped, repaired and refinished, then returned to a room fitted out around it.

We love what we do. Every job is different.
