Honest Timber
FSC-certified solid oak, walnut, ash and maple. No veneers, no MDF where a board will do.
Bespoke Carpentry & Custom Furniture
A small workshop in Oakwood making kitchens, joinery and furniture the slow way β solid wood, hand-finished joints, and nothing that can't be repaired in a hundred years.
Why Craft & Grain
Every piece we make is drawn, cut and finished in our own workshop. That means honest timber, visible joinery and a maker who stands behind their work β literally.
FSC-certified solid oak, walnut, ash and maple. No veneers, no MDF where a board will do.
Dovetails, mortise-and-tenon and drawbore pins β joints that hold without a single screw.
A realistic schedule and a fixed quote. We start when we say we will and finish when we promised.
Joinery and structure guaranteed for a quarter century. Built once, built to stay.
The Craft & Grain Way
Most of our jobs start with a conversation over coffee and a tape measure. We sketch, price honestly, then build the piece in our workshop before it ever reaches your home.
Drawings and 3D mock-ups you can touch before we commit a single board.
One price, itemised by material and labour. No surprises, no extras.
We deliver, fit, oil and wax β and leave the sawdust swept.
What We Make
Six trades under one roof. If it's made of wood and you can picture it, we can probably build it.
Kitchens
Fitted kitchens cut to your room, your storage and your cooking β in oak, walnut or painted hardwood.
Explore
Joinery
Wardrobes, alcove units, media walls and window seats that fit like they grew there β because they were built for there.
Explore
Furniture
Dining tables, beds, desks and heirlooms β designed with you, built by hand, finished to be passed down.
ExploreRecent Projects
A few recent pieces from the bench. Every one built in our workshop, photographed in the room it was made for.
How It Works
A calm, predictable process β so you always know what happens next and what it costs.
We visit, measure and listen. You leave with a rough sketch and a feel for what's possible.
Drawings, timber samples and a fixed, itemised quote within two weeks.
Your piece takes shape on the bench. We share progress photos at every stage.
Fitted, oiled, waxed and polished. Then we stand behind it for 25 years.
Kind Words
Most of our work still comes from word of mouth. Here's what people say after living with it.
"They rebuilt our kitchen and it genuinely changed how our family cooks and eats together. The dovetails are so clean I show guests the joints."
"A solid-oak dining table, made for our exact room, at a price that beat three cabinet companies. Five years in, it still looks like the day they delivered it."
