Services
After studying Furniture Making & Design at Chichester College. I went onto start my own business in 2011, which was driven by my love of Rustic and Reclaimed Wood. I make individual pieces of Rustic Furniture that are often made from historic and ancient Timber. I also work closely with customers to create commision pieces.
The Showroom is constantly being updated with new piece's of Rustic Furniture and Interior Gifts. My Workshop is also open everyday should you wish to pop by for a chat about a future commission. If you're looking to make a day out of visting me then Mottisfont Abbey is a 5 minute drive from here, and the Kimbridge Barns Tea Rooms are less than a 10 minute walk through the woods from the Showroom and Workshop.

I first contacted Matthew after having seen his amazing work on Instagram to enquire about purchasing an item as a gift for my boyfriend. He was prompt in responding and was extremely helpful. I appreciated his immediate communication and his willingness to help me find the perfect present. I subsequently arranged for a time for my boyfriend and I to visit Blackstone Chalk to view the items in person and they were even better in real life than they appeared in the photos! We came away with not just one but five different pieces!! I will definitely be buying from Matthew again - his work is phenomenal

We came across Matt when Open Studios was taking place so when we decided to replace our table we approached Matt to make a new one. It's a beautiful table for 10 made from one large piece of oak. Everybody comments on its beauty and build. It's been made with love and craftsmanship. How lucky are we to have this fabulous artist on our doorstep

I have been buying furniture from Matt for over 7 years and some of these have been commissioned pieces. I am very proud to have all of these in my home.
His workmanship and eye for detail are fantastic.
Highly recommend, a true craftsman.
Go along to Stockbridge Town Hall on Sunday 20th December and Thursday 24th December 2020 and see for yourself!!!!

I stumbled across Matt and Blackstone-Chalk after a random recommendation that I should visit during an open studio. It is amazing. The quality of the pieces Matt produces are truly extraordinary and his eye for bringing out the absolute best in the materials he works with is truly beyond compare.
Having bought a number of his one-off pieces (including a truly remarkable chair and coffee table) I commissioned some patio furniture which is classic, simple, yet absolutely beautiful - and so heavy it will last forever.
He has since made a show-stopping dining room table for firends I recommended

Matthew is a brilliant furniture designer and maker. He has a showroom at his home where you can browse his furniture and talk commisions, He is friendly and listens to what you are asking for, making the most beautiful rustic one off pieces that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend visiting him and having a look at his ever changing stock, there's always a range of solid wood pieces from chopping boards to coffee tables whenever we go. Very well priced aswell.
