The hands behind the wood

Meet The Makers

Six people, one standard

No apprentices dropped in for a season, no subcontractors on a busy month. The team you meet is the team that builds.

Marcus Bell
Founder & Master Carpenter

Marcus Bell

Thirty years at the bench, eighteen at Craft & Grain. Marcus still draws every kitchen by hand.

Measure twice.
Elena Sorensen
Head Designer

Elena Sorensen

A furniture designer who sketches in the workshop, not just on screen — so nothing gets lost in translation.

Draw it like you will build it.
Jamal Pierce
Cabinetmaker

Jamal Pierce

The dovetail specialist. If a joint is going to be visible, Jamal is the one who wants it perfect.

Joinery is honesty.
Sofia Reyes
Finisher

Sofia Reyes

Fifteen years of oiling, waxing and French polish. Sofia decides how every piece feels to the touch.

The finish is the handshake.

Join The Workshop

We are always looking for good hands

If you love wood, own your tools and would rather make one great thing than a hundred cheap ones, we would like to meet you.

  • Apprenticeships

    Two-year paid placements across joinery, finishing and installation.

  • Journeyman roles

    For makers with three-plus years and a portfolio of work they are proud of.

  • Four-day weeks

    We believe rested hands make better joints. Fridays off, workshop shut.

Ready When You Are

Let's make something worth keeping

Tell us about your space and the piece you're picturing. We'll come back with sketches, timber ideas and a fixed quote — no obligation, no hard sell.
