Your Wood, Repurposed.
Already have timber with a story? We can add another chapter.
Occasionally, we help transform tired but precious timber into treasure, extending life and adding memory to a story that doesn't have to end. Call us to discuss any project you have in mind.
What’s sitting in your shed? A slab your grandfather never got round to using, boards from a barn that’s long gone, a pew from a chapel that’s now someone’s home?
Wood like that deserves better than the bonfire. This table shows what’s possible.
The split in the oak is stitched with bow ties made from the slab’s own timber and from pitch pine salvaged from a pew at Eworthy Methodist Church. The pine grain is set in opposite directions on either side of each bow to make the most of its figure. Bring me your wood and your story, and I’ll make the two into one piece.

From the shed to the Fireside
Grandad's Post Table
This is a project I really enjoyed. Grandad's table was actually grandad's farm structural wood until it was no longer needed and retired, stored in an unused pen before being rediscovered after 15 years. In all, the posts used to build this table spent some 60 years on the farm before I was asked to do something with it. A huge part of the pleasure here was simply working with old wood. The moment the blade bit into it, the workshop filled with the smell of pine resin, as fresh as the day it was first cut. The tapered legs hint back to the years when the posts stood outside. They're still grandad's posts, but they're a coffee table now.
The Skip Reprieved Shelves
For years, this piece of oak worktop had one job: to come out of the garage on high days and holidays and serve as the family charcuterie board. Then, one day, Dad decided he’d dug it out for the last time, and it went in the skip.
His son-in-law saw it there, pulled it back out, and brought it to me with a simple brief: do something with it.
Under the stains and years of garage storage was solid oak. It was flattened, cut into three, and each shelf was given a different moulded edge, routed into the front and ends, then finished to bring out the warmth of the grain.
Today one hangs in the kitchen and the other two sit either side of the living room fireplace. The board that came out twice a year is now part of every day, still in the family, and never going back in the garage.
