Case studies

Every piece has a story

A record of commissions we've made — the brief, the making, and how it turned out. Filter by the kind of work.

Gates & fencing

Metalwork Simon drew and welded himself, on a milled timber base, made to match an old corrugated run.

Furniture

A bench as long as the Tesco lorry parked behind it — and the refectory tables that followed.

Furniture

A curved bar built on a giant sweet-chestnut stump, with welded steel and a wall of green-lit bottles.

Gates & fencing

Steel streaks chestnut black, so we copper-rivet the braces and peen them flush by hand.

Gates & fencing

Tall cleft-chestnut deer fencing near National Trust land — and once it went in, the neighbours wanted it too.

Garden Structures

Obelisks, strawberry cages and rose arches in cleft chestnut, made by hand in batches for people who grow.

Gates & fencing

A field gate is nominally four foot, but real gateposts never are — which is why people come to us.

Boards & homeware

A set of coasters burned freehand by pyrography to copy the designs of commemorative 50p coins.

Furniture

A table engineered to cradle a salvaged brass ship's compass at its true floating angle.
