The workshop range · made to order in Rochdale

Drawn here, cut here, finished by hand.

Everything on this page is cut on the same machine that does our trade work, from the same sheets. Nothing is held in stock, so nothing sits in a warehouse getting damp. Prices include VAT.

Before you order

Questions worth asking

Can I return a made-to-order piece?

Stock sizes, yes. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, and we pay return postage if something is wrong with it. Pieces cut to a size you specified are exempt from that right, because we cannot sell a 743 mm shelf to anyone else. We will always replace a genuine fault, custom or not.

Why is birch ply more expensive than oak here?

Because the price reflects the sheet, the cut time and the finishing, not the romance of the timber. A wide ply panel uses more of an expensive sheet than a narrow oak component uses of a cheap board. We would rather show you the arithmetic than pretend.

Will the grain match the photograph?

No, and we would be lying if we said otherwise. Every board is different. What we guarantee is the species, the thickness, the finish and the dimensions. If grain match matters across a set, tell us and we will cut them from one board.

Do you sell the drawings?

For some pieces, yes. If you have your own machine and would rather cut it yourself, ask. We would rather sell you a file than lose the sale to a delivery quote.
