Chests, Cupboards, Cabinets and Shelves
Being a skilled cabinet maker, furniture with drawers are one of my favourite things to make. All my drawers are traditionally constructed with dovetail joints on all four corners of the drawers and solid wood throughout.
A handmade chest of drawers is something to be cherished and passed to your children as an heirloom.
My cupboards are all handmade with care and considerable thought put into the design so that you get exactly what you want.
Here are some examples which I have made in the past. If you see something which you like (or similar to what you want), please contact me to discuss details.
Large Built-in wardrobe
This was a very large job for me. It is made from ash with plywood carcasses. I will only undertake work like this for local customers as the installation requires me to be in the customers house for multiple days.
Bedside Cabinets
These two ash bedside cabinets have a drawer, magazine rack and a cupboard in each.
In the cupboard is a shelf which pulls out so that the contents of the bottom shelf can be easily accessed.

Ash Larder Cupboard
This tall larder cupboard has three large cupboards on top of a unit with 4 large drawers. The cupboards have racks on the inside of the doors to keep smaller items in.
Elm Cabinet for shoe and glove storage
This beautiful elm cabinet has three large drawers and two shelves in the cupboard for boot and shoe storage. The sides have ventilation slots in them so that the damp shoes have air flow to dry them with getting smelly. Size, number of drawers etc all customisable to meet your needs.
