Based in the Midlands, serving the whole of the UK and with over 35 years experience I offer a variety of furniture restoration services including Furniture conservation and Furniture repairs, Wood turning, Veneering, Marquetry and Parquetry, Carving, French polishing and Cane, Rush and Sea-grass seating.
All are carried out sympathetically to the piece of furniture and using materials and techniques traditionally used. The restoration of any piece of furniture or woodwork is considered from any period - as every piece deserves a little TLC from time to time.
In addition to Furniture restoration I also offer a bespoke Furniture design and Furniture making service, with both client and myself working together from start to finish making the whole experience a very personal one.Wooden handmade gifts are also available made to order and personalised for special occasions.

I can repair and replace damaged and missing carving accurately to the original. The finish is reproduced to match the original piece of furniture, picture frame or carved sculpture with gilding being offered where necessary. This is a carved statue of the Taoist deity Shou Lao (God of longevity). As you can see from the above photograph it's arms and staff were missing when it came to the workshop.
Marquetry is the creation of pictures using different types of veneer and can be used to decorate pieces of furniture, wall panelling or as wall hanging pictures. Using the variety and beauty of the different grain, texture and colours of veneer, panels can be designed to the client's specific needs, to replicate photographs, designs or as contemporary works of art in their own right.
If you require carving to embellish a piece of furniture, a picture frame, the woodwork in your house and garden or a carved item such as your family Coat of Arms, I would be more than happy to chat to you about it, and discuss your ideas further and how to bring them to fruition. The finish required can also be tailored to suit your requirements and the final position of the item.

Stuart did a wonderful job of restoring our smokers bow chair. It was made by my great,great, grandfather, so meant a lot to us as a family and I really would not have entrusted so loved a piece to anyone other than Stuart.
He had to replace one leg entirely and although it is a rather complex shape, he has done this so expertly, including matching in the colour, that it is totally seamless and solid as a rock, meaning it can be passed on through the family for many more generations. We are delighted with it.
