Ian

Ian has made us many items. A hallway table, bookcase, a cabinet for our bathroom and an outside table and bench seats.

All of these have been beautifully made to fit our space and using beautiful wood.

Ian is a true craftsman, passionate about his work and a perfectionist. He is trustworthy and honest, and we will always go to him first.

A wonderful cheeseboard made in good time for my family get together despite quite short notice. Wood used was excellent quality and the workmanship was exceptional in my opinion. Aftercare advice was also given. Will use again for sure.
