Tom's Woodshop

Welcome to the workshop.

Bowls, boards, pens and the occasional table — all of it made by me, in evenings and at weekends, mostly from timber off a local sawmill's offcut pile. Some pieces are finished and waiting. The rest I'll make for you.

What's ready now Commission a piece

Ready now

Finished and on the shelf. One of each. Posted in a couple of days, or collect in person.

Made to order

Choose the timber and I'll make it. A fortnight for a pen, longer for a chess board.

Bespoke

Larger pieces, made to fit your room and your idea rather than a catalogue.

Off the shelf

Ready now

Everything here already exists. When a piece sells it comes off the site, because there isn't another one.

Pick the timber, I'll make the thing

Pens in twenty-three different woods, picture frames, plant stands, tea caddies, and a chess board with every one of its thirty-two pieces turned by hand. Lead times are on each piece, so you know what you're waiting for before you order.

Something made for you

A table for an awkward corner. A board with two names on it. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll tell you honestly whether I can make it, what it would cost and how long it would take.
