Fitted furniture work

Here's a few pictures of some fitted bedroom furniture carried out a little while ago, finally got around to getting some pictures taken.

It is a sprayed finish in "Slipper Satin" and has soft close drawers. The work also included a cantilevered sink unit, which due to the depth was a bit of a challenge. Some heavy duty bespoke steel brackets solved the problem, they are neatly hidden in a void in either side of the cabinet.

                 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

           To start the year off, here's some pictures of a couple of recent commissions.

The Elm for this coffee table was sourced from 'Whitewood Management' based in Okehampton. They have the great ability to let me know the exact location of the trees that they have planked. This particular tree was growing up the side of the local bridge in Tavistock. A fairly straight forward table in design terms. However this allowed me to focus on the crisp through tenon joinery and showing off the beautiful 'partridge feather' grain on the flat sawn sections, as seen on the sides of the table's surface.

The second table was made from locally sourced oak. The oak was used 'green' for the curved sections to allow the bends to be achieved through steam bending; minimising waste and allowing the grain to follow the curvature on the bent components. Scribed tenons were used into the legs and the glass was cut to have a complimentary curvature and soften the usually harsh edges. 

Here's a couple more detail shots with many thanks to http://ajpayne.com/ for the great photography.
