"We have had our Dorset map up for 6 months now and still love it just as much as the first day. It looks fantastic and there is real attention to detail in the finish. It finishes off our room so well and gets lots of comments from friends and family. Thank you!"

Wow how time flies! 8 years ago today I began this

Wow how time flies! 8 years ago today I began this one off comission. It was the first job I did in the old workshop and the first time lapse video I shot too.
I was commissioned by a hair dresser to make 6 chairs in the style of a directors chair for their Salon. It was all out of solid American ash and the video demonstrates how I steam-bent the legs. Always good to look back.

On to the next project!
Kitchen island with 8 drawers.
Constructed with Solid Poplar and birch plywood drawers.

Last minute extension to the length has been added which meant it was best to include an extra pair of legs in the middle to increase support.

Seats all done and delivered!
This is always the best part, seeing them in their pride of place.
Really happy with the end result, @edwardtcahill done a superb job on the velvet upholstery, cheers for the hard work!
All we need to do now is to sit back and relax with a lovely pint 😉😄👍

440mm mitre, probably one of the largest one I've done so far. Not too shabby though 😅

I really must get in a better habit of uploading work as I go along 😅
Almost finished the Banquette seating and is now in its final stage being upholstered.
Just to ease the influx of pics, I'll be posting more developments in the next few days.
So far it's been good project, I'm very happy with how it's coming together. There have been a few costly set backs, nevertheless it's always important to take away these moments and learn from them.

The overall exterior will be veneered with American Black Walnut and upholstered with purple velvet.
Still got some tweaking to do with the corner to allocate more seating and fine tune dimensions of the ergonomics.
I find it's always worth knocking up a mock up to test the comfort and seat level to get just right.

This is Ruby @madame_rubis she works behind the scenes at @_stitchwood_ and @_mapwood_ .
Shes not the most productive of employees as she normally sleeps during work hours and work breaks. However, what she lacks in practicality she gains in boosting morale (which is more important). #workingdog #frenchbulldog #workdog #takingyourdogtowork #dogdaycare #workshopdog #wooddog #joinery #dorset #madeindorset #woodworking #woodworkingpets
