What makes them last

Boards chosen by hand

Tom picks every board at the mill, matching grain and colour across a table top.

Draw-bored joints

Pegged mortise and tenon joints that pull tighter as the wood moves.

An oil you can renew

A hard wax oil that takes a ring from a mug out with a cloth and a little oil.

Good to know

Can I choose the tree?

Often, yes. Come to the mill with Tom and choose the boards for your table yourself.

Do you copy a piece from a photograph?

We draw it again for your room and our joints, and tell you honestly what we would change.

How do I look after an oiled table?

Wipe it, never soak it, and give it a thin coat of oil once a year. The journal has a guide.

Shall we come and measure?
