Solid Pine Timber

All our handmade furniture is made in the traditional way from solid pine timber and this natural material with knots and does expand and contrast in different temperatures. Wood is hygroscopic, which means its MC will fluctuate based on the relative humidity (RH) of the surrounding air.

As humidity increases, the MC increases, and the wood expands, and as the humidity decreases, MC decreases, and the wood shrinks. Unfortunately this can not be stopped on a natural material.

If this has happened on your painted item it is an easy fix as the actual build is not effected. We will send you out a FREE small bottle of the touch up paint to use to cover any areas that have moved for the reasons above. PLEASE JUST send us an email and we can organise this.

If a knot opens up (which sometimes does happen) again this is an easy fix. The knot will require a simple process of filling with a 2 part wood filler and then the touch up paint applied. This is not a manufacturing or product fault on a natual material and can be fixed by yourselves.

You can also order the touch up paint kit here..

Product Dimensions

ALL OUR ITEMS are displayed with the MAXIMUM EXTERNAL SIZES.

Due to the hand made nature of many of our products, there is the potential for small variations against the quoted dimensions. Therefore, if exact dimensions are required, or if size is a critical element in your purchase, please contact us prior to placing your order or at the time of ordering and let us know.

How We Manufacture

All our furniture is made using solid timber and built using traditional techniques - there is no melamine, no MDF, plywood or man made boards are used, even when painted. We use a Kreg® Pocket-Hole Machine to construct cabinets furniture, bookshelves, tables etc with multiple joints in a professional way. It drills a pilot hole and counterbore at a 15-degree angle into the timber without the use of glue, nails and screws on the outside what can be on view, look very unsightly and not as strong. It enables us to construct furniture from the inside instead of the outside. Our time served cabinet makers have used this for many many years in our manufacturing and it gives the best strength and most stable construction out there. These pilot holes are visible on the inside side edge.

  

Wooden Knobs

All our handmade furniture is supplied with beech wooden knobs as standard. These knobs can be painted in the colour that you have chosen or in the contrast wood finish. If you have orderd an item in the RAW WOOD then the knobs are supplied loose and also in the RAW WOOD. We can fit your own handles or knobs if you send these to us. We ask you to purchase what you would like and post them out to us to fit free of charge in our workshop BEFORE delivery. This can not be done in your home by our delivery team.  

Flush Hinges for Doors

We use high quality UK manufactured flush hinges that are produced for Cheshire Pine. We do not use inferior quality products from DIY stores that are imported in bulk and cost effective. We also do not use kitchen types hinges that are typically used when a wooden kitchen door is combined with melamine.

Our furntiure is built with a frame following traditional methods and the doors are not mounted on the outside but fitted into the frame.

We have 3 colours of our hinges. SILVER, FLORENTINE BRONZE and BRASS.

We choose the hinge colour that best goes with the colour of the paint choice, or the contrast knobs or the colour of your own knobs/handles. Our hinges are 50 mm FLUSH HINGES and are manufactured specially for us. We are unable to use any other hinges or the ones that you may want to buy and for us to use. Please accept our apologies that this is not possible. We guarantee our doors with the hinges that have been design and manufactured in the UK for ourselves. The way that the doors are hung and the thickness of the timber means our hinges work.

Double Roller Catches for closing doors

All our doors are closed shut with the strong traditional UK manufactured double roller catches. We do not use modern magnetic catches or any slow closing mechanisms. Magnetic catches are typically used on modern furniture that is combined with melamine, MDF, plywood and man made boards. 

We do not use any fitted kitchen type hardware and we use traditional fittings. Our furniture is built to last and this is why we continue to use the traditional cabinet making methods. 

Double Coat Hooks

All our Double Coat Hooks are CAST IRON and a BLACK FINISH. If you would like Chrome or an alternative colour then we ask you to purchase these and send them on to us.  Purchase what you would like and post them out to us to fit free of charge in our workshop BEFORE delivery. This can not be done in your home by our delivery team.

Paint

All our paint comes from a specialist paint supplier and is a durable and sprayable 2 part lacquer paint mix that we mix ourselves. We do not use paint that is bought off the shelf from a DIY store.
