A little cameo of Matthew Burt design & making, these in ash from some of those beautiful trees, sadly succumbing to ash dieback. Far better they're memorialised like this than pelletised and sent up to the Drax power station & going up in a puff of smoke. #ashdieback #interior #interiors #designandmake #craftartanddesign #visitwiltshire #supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace

A few pieces we made for a home in Corfu, the tables in Wiltshire olive ash & the simple Whirly-gig in English elm & ash, to remind the fortunate ex-pats of their life in dear ol'Blighty. We're reacquainting ourselves with them this stormy early autumn as thunder rumbles in from Albania. They now smell of beeswax and shine out in renewed vigour #commissionfurniture #interiors #mediterranean #ionian #corfu #dearoldblighty #supportpeopleinsheds #supportdesignermakers #supportmakersndmaking

Snaps of our work at a recent visit to the @stantonguildhouse a delightful place with an amazing heritage & guiding values. Founded by the drive and spirit of Mary Osborn & built through donations & volunteers. We're pleased & proud to have so much of our furniture there & we wish that it thrives #stantonguildhouse #socialenterprise #socialentrepreneurship #interiors #designandmake #supportpeopleinsheds #artcraftanddesign #handmade #lovenpeace

By way of something different, our 'Silhouette Con

By way of something different, our 'Silhouette Console' which can have a panelled or plane top. This one is on elms & brass, others have been in cherry & lacewood or natural & burr oak. I first designed this in the 1980s but it keeps on coming back with a slow but steady trickle of requests to make it again. There's little that compares to those lovely, out of the blue, contacts where we're asked to make an old favourite. We are now in that delicious space where we are occasionally designing & making & selling, for not only the children but the grandchildren of some of our early clients, who themselves still commission. We thank you all. #interiors #britishinteriors #commissionfurniture #buyfurniture #designandmakefurniture #supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace

Just back from the Alps where we refinished, amongst other pieces, a large low table in elm. A great client who over the years has challenged me to come up with some very lovely pieces for some very lovely spaces. It's rare that you get an opportunity to design & make for a space like this #alpineinteriors #interiors #alps #alpinefurniture #labellefrance #gouk supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace

A pair of gates in sweet chestnut that I designed

A pair of gates in sweet chestnut that I designed and made in 1987 still going strong & I've done absolutely nothing to them. The wasps like to harvest its surface for their nests, lichen slowly takes possession, pigeons & sparrows like to defaecate on them, but they swing open with the same enthusiasm & willingness as the day I installed them. Sweet chestnut is a jewel of a tree & timber & I cannot imagine why we haven't planted them in their thousands. They coppice beautifully, they're quick growing, their fruit is delicious, their timber easy to work, pliant, stable & it weathers as well as oak, both if them rich in tannin. They do need an acid soil & are no friend of the chalk but hey ho you can't have everything. #sweetchestnuts #exteriors #gates #gardengates #commissionfurniture commissiondesignandmake #supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace
