Cottage Two

We're still in business although quiet on social media!

One of the more recent pieces to leave the workshop was this bespoke, U-shaped solid oak desk. We worked closely with our customer to make them their dream desk, which all started from their own sketch.

We ensured the grain was continuous across the entire top and that we fabricated a frame that was easy to assemble in-situ. From machining the rough sawn oak, to fabricating & coating the steel frame, everything was done in-house.

It's a whopping 2.6m wide and provides ample mounting space for their series of monitors.

We had a customer return to have some simple shelving modules made to match a desk that we made for them some years back. Our customer drew up their own design and we made to their plans.

We then finished the units to fit nicely into the room alongside their desk.

We always welcome custom requests on our standard furniture, no matter how big or small. Our customer that received this desk last year requested the steel frame to be flush with the desktop at each end. We like how it looks!

Along with this request, they also provided their specific dimensions, cable management requirements and finishes.

As always, get in touch to discuss your own furniture, no matter how big or small the request.

Just some of the pieces we've produced lately, everything from kitchen islands and desks to bedside tables and barrel bars.

We're having a busy run up to Christmas, and we thank you for your continued support!

This week's feature takes us back to one of our favourite builds yet, and one that we were quite reluctant to see leave the workshop.

Crafted from solid oak and paired with heavy industrial steel beam, this set included a large custom sized table with two matching benches. Strong, solid and a bold statement piece that adds warmth to the family home.

Interested in a dining set like this? Get in touch and we can help bring your vision to life.

The latest piece to leave the workshop is this bespoke kitchen island on castors. Our customer originally discovered our desk with integrated cabinet and requested some alterations to the design to make it the island that you see here.

The cabinet is accessible from both sides and the doors use push to open fittings. It also features locking castors and the piece has been finished to match their new kitchen.

As always, get in touch if there's something you like the look of.

Why choose handmade furniture over mass-produced?

In this day and age, with the use of software and programmed machines, increased competition from mass produced goods are quickly causing traditional handmade skills to fade away. That's why handmade matters more than ever.

Here's what it means when you choose handmade furniture:

Real craftsmanship – Every joint, cut, and finish is done by skilled hands, not automated machines.

Uniqueness – No two pieces are ever exactly the same – each carries its own character and story.

Personalisation – We can adapt designs to your home or business, instead of you adapting to mass-produced furniture.

Sustainability – Using reclaimed wood and responsibly sourced materials keeps our impact light.

Supporting skills – Choosing handmade supports small businesses and keeps traditional craftsmanship alive.

Handmade furniture isn’t just about filling a space – it’s about investing in something meaningful, long-lasting, and truly yours.
