Handmade tables

The handcrafted tables shown on this page give an idea of the pieces I have previously made, and all designs can be used again or as inspirations for your ideas.
Using timber sourced from sustainably managed woodlands, within 50 miles of Bristol, each table is unique due to the different characteristics of timber.
All tables delivered in local area.
Available in any size and timber, designed and handmade to order.
Cherry bedside tables
The overall form is simple. But through tenons on the legs highlight how the structure is joined and dovetails are featured on the drawer.

English ash dining table
Strong mortise and tenon joints are used in the construction of the frame. The top is made from seven strips of timber butt jointed together. The top is held to the frame using wooden buttons.(small wood blocks that fit into grooves cut in the rails)

Bridle joint tables
This is a design of table I came up with whilst at college. The overall form is simple, the strength and structure is highlighted by the Bridle joint.(which is seen clearly in the middle picture)

Yew and Slate coffee table
The Yew used in this piece came from near Cirencester. The council were cutting 9 Yew trees down, on a bend in the road and disposing of them in a landfill site.
Luckily a local resident managed to take and plank the trees.
The slate is from High Fell Green Slate Ltd. A small slate mine high above Coniston, in the Lake District.

Olive Ash coffee table
The centre of Ash logs often turns a dark brown. Darkest at the pith (the core that has wide growth rings) and thins to streaks farther out. This becomes known as "Olive Ash" for its resemblance to Olive wood. There is dramatic rippling and marbling.
This table uses Bridle joints again with through spindles on the longer legs that support the glass top. This table was exhibited at the New Designers exhibition in London last year and Room 212 in Bristol this year.
