The brief: to replace an existing chest of drawers and bedside cabinets. The new furniture would fit into the existing spaces and provide additional storage. The wood was not to be dark and soft-close drawers were requested.

“Eider” Sofa Table (#5)
At the Glenkinchie Christmas Fayre I had a couple of pieces of furniture on display and one of the visitors liked my “Eider” sofa table and so commissioned me to make another. I used some of my own 200 year old Dumfriesshire oak and the client chose to have the legs in walnut to give that crisp contrast on the top surface. Dimensions: H 540 x W 240 x L 445 mm.

More photos of the “Corncrake” table
My customer has kindly sent me some more photos of their "Corncrake" dining table without the chairs in place. These are great photos and perfect for showing off the legs, and the table looks fantastic in their space - there is so much light from all the windows!

The “Corncrake” Dining Table
Time for a dining table. This one is an 8-seater which is large enough to be an occasional 10-seater. The table length was a slight limiting factor and so I opted to go slightly wider and have two placings at each end to give a 10-seater 3-2-3-2 configuration.

The “Marbled Duck” Table
A wee table, designed as a replacement for my client's old table and designed specifically to showcase the client's own piece of marble (- hence the choice of name). The rich brown of the walnut gives a fantastic match for the rose coloured marble.

The “Snipe” Office Furniture Suite
Just a final post showing the three pieces of the "Snipe" office furniture suite gathered together. You get a better idea of scale and positioning to see the filing cabinet and sideboard sitting either side of the corner desk.

The “Snipe” Sideboard
My "Snipe" sideboard. Continuing the design cues from the filing cabinet - cut-away drawer pulls and walnut highlights - and adding asymmetric freeform slatted doors with offset handles. Everyone in the workshop loved it.

The “Snipe” Filing Cabinet
Next in my "Snipe" suite of office furniture is my filing cabinet. The brief was that this was to have drawers, one of which was to be big enough to hold A4 ring binders, and it was to be the partner to my "Snipe" corner desk.

“Eider” Footstool (#2)
It's always nice when a customer contacts you out of the blue and says that they really like what they see on your website and asks "May I have one of these, please?"

The “Snipe” Corner Desk
My brief was to create some furniture home office. The client already had in mind a corner desk but we went on to explore some typical rectangular desk designs before settling on a small suite comprising a filing cabinet, corner desk and sideboard. This is the corner desk.

“Eider” Footstool in Oak
The leaves are off the trees, the clocks have gone back and it’s time to put your feet up. This is my Eider footstool to complement my Eider sofa table. In oak, finished with Osmo raw and upholstered with the customer’s own fabric. I hope you like it.

Lovely Olive Ash!
Tom, my son, asked for some shelves to fit an empty space in his room. The shelves were to be able to take his school notes in lever arch files, some text books and some novels...
