Happy New Year 2016.

A big warm hello to all our past, present and future customers. We are already busy with orders so far this year with a large list of commissions to work through.

Apologies if you have been looking at our site and wondering what has happened. We are updating the site and have changed hosts and format. There has been a problem transferring the images so I am working on replacing them all. Please bear with us and feel free to call us if you don’t see what you are looking for or would like to visit to discuss a commission,

Peter Fox.

Oak Bookcase with ‘Waterfall side’

We have just finished this ‘waterfall sided’  bookcase which we made alongside a similar piece for a customer.

'Waterfall ' oak bookcase

Making the most of a particularly clean batch of timber we have been able to match all the timber colour and grain beautifully to create a very attractive and practical item of storage furniture. With fixed shelves and spaces of 15”, 13”, 11” and a 7” side above the top shelf, it offers useful space for larger books or a combination of book and display space.

The outside dimensions are 32” x 54” x 15” and the back is fitted with random width t & g boards, which are used to get the best out of the available timber but also help to give the piece a hand made identity. It’s almost a pity someone will probably buy it and fill it with books straight away!

Our customer added a Yorkshire Rose to his order

It is available now from our showroom at Longnor Craft Centre and Coffee Shop, which is open daily from 10am to 5pm.If you are interested in viewing please ring first to avoid disappointment. 01298 83587

Most of our work is made to order so we can easily vary dimensions and spaces to suit your needs. Please contact Peter at the workshop on 01298 84467 if you would like to discuss a commission.

The teddies are made by Chris Bears and are among a charming group of resident bears at the showroom, Longnor Craft Centre.

Chess Table

This beautiful dark elm chess table has just emerged from our workshop. Made mostly of elm with the chess board being made of sycamore and walnut and being incorporated as an integral part of the top, this will hopefully be the first of many that we produce.

Having proved the board assembly technique to be a success we will almost certainly make a table of  some form for the showroom very soon. I will add a new post when we have made one. Sorry, this one was made for a customer but at least it shows what is possible. This table measures 27” x 27” x 24” high and costs £795 with 2 drawers.

There is a rumour that I might even have started work on a chess set to go with it! Watch this space but don’t hold your breath.
