Special veneer layout
A holy piece for a holy place! And a very impressed client. Putting together a massive new project the comments were something like: “why can’t all the trades we’re dealing with be like you guys!”
Church Furniture – Altar cupboard
This custom church altar cabinet is complete. The budget was tight and our client wanted some kind of special effect on a tight budget. We laid up the timber veneer manually in 3 differing directions to try and give some creative difference!
Annie’s beach house pew
Annie’s beach house pew had been failing for some time. Split, gone almost black and looking unloved. This pew is obviously more than 100 years old based on the construction style, lack of any steel hardware (nails etc) and timber quality. Now it has a new lease on life once […]
