#tbt The shed I built for us back in Kent 10 years ago. Want one? I’d love to do a few more! Oak corner posts and trim, a proper pitched, tiled roof and thicker timber cladding make garden buildings like this feel unique and also don’t look like a strong gust of wind would send them straight to your neighbours. #garden #shed #carpentry

Nice to be back working in this property and getting to see a piece I made last year all finish painted - as the furniture I make is often supplied primed and undercoated, I don’t always get to see the end result. Really pleased with how this one ended up!

Entrance way seat delivered and fitted on Friday. Just the spot to kick off your boots and store them out of the way when you get home 🥾
Solid tulip wood frame with tongue & groove MDF panels (already painted in the customer’s choice of colour, left over from a previous project) with the rest primed and undercoated ready for paint. Topped off with reclaimed planks for the seat top and shelf, oiled and wax polished.

More interesting than just having a plain painted end to a nib wall. This reclaimed oak beam has been added as a feature in the kitchen of this stunning cottage. The great thing about reclaimed pieces is they show years of character and wear that can’t be replicated so it really is putting a unique stamp on a room.

It’s sat hidden away for the last 5 years but in the recent move to the new workshop I uncovered this hefty slab of Beech I brought over from County Wicklow when we made the move to North Yorkshire. I’ve been wanting to turn it into something ever since so if you’ve got any ideas or have a project in mind let me know!

Didn’t actually know that the ‘mind your head’ sign in the background would show up but it kind of works as the new workshop is definitely feeling easier to work in, less chaotic and even makes for a more relaxed working environment. Until the power tools are on again.

Reclaimed timber + stunning original stone wall + lots of scribing = the perfect spot for all the usual odds and ends that need a home when you first come through the door.

Here’s a few of the corner bench seat now fitted and ready for final painting. Space is at a premium in this part of the kitchen so storage has been built in too. Reclaimed timber tops compliment the feel of this beautiful property- more work to come here so watch this space.

For a change I thought I’d make something because I felt like it, not just because I had to. So here’s a kind of long bowl/dish thingy made from some leftover Iroko I found when I had a tidy up of the scrap pile. Not sure what to do with it now but anyway hope it looks good.

Bit of an update on this living room project. Lights for the shelves and mantle feature are going in and really making a difference. Handles from @fromtheanvil als finishing off the doors nicely 👌 Looking forward to seeing this with lighting and painting finished off!

Weekends are for doing a bit on our own place, after some less fun days taking old plasterboard down and hacking out rubbish it’s staircase upgrade time. We’ve taken the wall to the side of the stairs down to open the room up, now the side has been clad in Oak veneer MDF, then chunky oak spindles fitted as a room screen while still giving plenty of light and space- bit of an alternative to a regular staircase setup anyway!
Edit: yes it’s a work in progress, no it’s not finished, no there’s not going to be a big gap in the middle.

Not exactly where I thought I’d be on Christmas Eve but running out of time is part of the self employed game I guess 🤔 nearly there turning our shed into a gymnastics practice room for our youngest one in time for the big day tomorrow. Definitely brightening up a tricky end to the year. Happy Christmas everyone, hope you all get to rest up and be happy and all the best for 2026. Sláinte 🍻 🎄

Clearing the shed out and look what I found 😳 must have had more time for carving than I thought a few years ago, brings back a few memories. #spooncarving #carving #greenwoodworking

That’s this set of cabinets all wrapped up. On the left of this stunning fireplace we have a dresser section with a solid oak top, soft close drawers and chunky shelves above.on the right we have a storage unit with push-to-open drawers for shoes and space for baskets/boxes below, with a cabinet above which will soon have coat hooks fitted. Some very wonky old ceilings and lots of stone to scribe around on this one! Seriously bold colour choice from the client on this one but it made a nice change from the usual whites and creams or only seeing things at the undercoat stage. Colour is @farrowandball ‘Eating Room’, with handles from @matildagoad.

Back for more work on this property in Skipton and got some photos of the island unit I made now it’s all painted and the top is fitted. Soft close drawers for storage, twin pull-out bin units and mini shelves for bits and pieces make it a great focal point

Quick job here adding in a new stud wall and oak internal door to create an ‘airlock’ space. It’s always nice to be able to come in and kick off muddy boots and jackets and have them shut away from the rest of the house. Insulating the wall helps keeps heat in whilst the glazed door stops the space becoming too dark. Next up, plastering and architrave/skirting.

Couldn’t resist splitting this chunk of Walnut to see what was inside, definitely wasn’t disappointed. This has been cut fresh so it’ll be a good while before it’s ready to use for furniture unless anyone’s got a timber kiln laying around. Plenty of time to think about what it could be turned into!

Just because I was that pleased with how it ended up, here’s a quick one showing all of the false beam in reclaimed timber. I’ll admit I was a bit nervy about getting a decent mitre on a wonky plank of old weathered oak over 2 metres long but patience and using a decent track saw paid off. Thanks @southplanksfarm for some more great reclaimed planks!

Renovations on this stunning house had left the area above this window needing some tlc…using reclaimed oak boards scribed into the stone and cut to look like a beam that’s been there forever we’re in the process of sorting some very satisfying finishing touches.

Finally getting on with some work on our own place. It’s been frustrating not having the time or money for getting on with renovating our ex-council place but lately we’ve been able to get back at it - ripping out the old tired parts, insulating walls and in this case fitting some tongue&groove panelling as an alternative to plain plastered walls. We’ve also fitted an oak windowboard and trim. This space is at the top of our stairs and used to be a very tiny bedroom - we’ve now opened it up to be a spacious landing area although it’ll be our temporary bedroom until we’re able to convert our attic. I’m going on a bit here but after having things on hold for a while and only doing the regular ‘day job’ of working on clients houses it’s great to be cracking on with stuff for us again.

Years of wear and decay on the surface but cut it open and there’s some stunning iron hard oak hidden just below the surface.

Scribe time. These windows had been fitted into non-standard sized openings so needed some simple but effective trim to bridge the gap.
