We made this table using Bird’s Eye Maple veneer with Rosewood feet and detailing to complement our client’s Art Deco period house.
This semi-circular table has a single drawer, which has a curved front and handcut dovetails. Bird’s Eye Maple is a very hard wood with a very decorative grain structure created by the birdseyes.
Bird’s Eye Maple features in another of our table designs here. Have a close look at our MWL desk – it’s asymmetric design allows more space for a personal computer.
This cabinet is made in solid European walnut and walnut veneer. It has an adjustable internal shelf and is open at the back to allow for ventilation.
16-30 October 2009
Our Entwine Table will be on show, together with our new Twin Petal stool which we started designing and making at the Wild About Wood Festival at The Arboretum Trust at Castle Howard on 13 September 2009.
Come and visit our stand at the Great Yorkshire Show on 14, 15 and 16 July 2009. We will have our sculptural contemporary furniture on display in the Made in Yorkshire marquee.
You will also be able to purchase smaller items from us – we will have clocks, mirrors, chopping boards, cheese boards and a selection of jewellery boxes, which all make excellent gifts.
You will be able to discuss your furniture needs with David, who will be delighted to provide you with initial ideas for development.
Bathroom corner cabinet
Our client’s ensuite bathroom was completely renovated and updated and we were commissioned to make a dark timber corner wall-mounted cabinet. During the design stage we prepared several timber samples, and wenge was chosen by our client. The interior of this cabinet is lined with maple veneer. Two of the cabinet doors, in the corner of the unit, are bifold, giving full access to the inside. At each end of the cabinet are single door cupboards, housing pull-out wire baskets. The doors have soft close mechanisms.

The wall mounted cabinet leaves plenty of room for feet when using the washbasins, and we were able to mount the unit at exactly the right height for our client’s comfort. You can see more of our bathroom cabinets here.
We are opening our studio to visitors – come and see David demonstrating his traditional craftmanship skills at our workshop on 20 and 21 June, and on 26, 27, 28 June. We will be open from 10.30 am till 5.30 pm on these days. We will have examples of our individually designed furniture on display – please come and try them out – you can touch the wood, sit on the wood, buy the wood – we will have gift items available for you to purchase on the day; for example jewellery boxes, clocks with unique grain patterns, chopping boards, cheese boards and larger items of furniture. We are taking part in the North Yorkshire Open Studios event, you can see other inspirational artists and craftsmen here
Display cabinet
This cabinet is designed for large model boats to be displayed behind locked glass paneled doors. A dolls house will be displayed on top. Our client requested a light timber – we used sycamore and made the handles and joint detailing in yew.
Drinks cabinet
Our client commissioned us to make a drinks cabinet to fit in the alcove in their open plan lounge/dining room in their modern house. They had recently purchased a dining room suite and this drinks cabinet was designed to complement this.

Entwined twixt twig and twine
David carved the work of calligrapher Richard Crookes into the top of this console table. Inlaid cherry represents the ‘twig’ and Stephanie’s stitched hemp cord represents the ‘twine’.
