Chair Making

I have a love for chair design and making. The chair is the piece of furniture we interact with most, a good chair must be comfortable, strong enough to last generations of use,

light enough to move around and attactive to look at.

​

The chairs I design and make are based on the tried and tested techniques of traditional British Vernacular seating. I make both sets and unique one off pieces of furniture.

I source all the timber for my chairs locally, felling many of the trees I use myself.

All the turnings, legs, spindles etc, are made from sections split out of green (fresh felled) logs. These are thoroughly dried before the chair is assembled.

​

All my chairs come with a lifetime guarantee.

​

I also do interesting bespoke commissions including, beds, garden installation, seating, and one-off pieces of furniture.

​

Since starting to work three days a week as senior tutor at the cart shed, having a full order book, and being an on call fire fighter, I am only taking on interesting commissions. but please do drop me a message if you'd like something special made.

​

UK mainland delivery from £70. Sets of chairs, pallet delivered from £180. 

Dining / side chairs

I make traditional, rustic and contempory dining chairs with a choice of timbers and finishes.

From £150-300

Double Bow-backs and 

Arm Bow Comb-backs.

These chairs are made from turned parts. 

They can be at the head of the table, the living room or at the fire side. 

I can make them to standard patterns or customised to suit you.

£450-650

Free form/ Welsh stick

When making freeform chairs I select wood with natural curves, split them in half so they match, then hand shape with a draw knife. 

£350-700

Special occasion chairs!

I can engrave or pyrography names, dates etc onto chairs for weddings, retirements, new borns.

Most designs can have rockers added!

Or bring an idea I'll see what I can do.
