Wooden furniture from our Somerset workshop; new designs Spring 2022

By

In our Somerset workshop we have several new handmade wooden furniture designs for Spring

Modern rustic industrial farmhouse style mirror, picture frame and bookcase.

Slim Bookcase, Mirror With Shelf Cubbies & Triple Aperture Picture Frame

We’ve made a slim version of our classic bookcase for those narrower rooms in your home and for this design the chunky top doesn’t feature our 2 cm overhang, enabling a neat fit exactly into your space. 

We were also commissioned to create our signature ‘dovetail’ mirror with a shelf divided into 3 cute cubbies and we and our customer are very pleased with the results!

Stephen gave us a 5 star review on Google in February for our handmade wooden furniture and you can see his own photo of the lovely mirror in his home if you visit our review page.

“ I purchased a mirror with custom designed solid-wood frame and shelf. Marc Wood was able to make this to my exact specifications, and perfectly colour-match to another piece of my furniture. Communication was excellent – friendly, helpful with fast responses.

Delivery was on a day of my choosing, and well packaged.

The price was great value.

A true craftsman who I cannot praise highly enough “

 In other news, our triple aperture wooden picture frame for an 8 x10 inch or A4 image has had a makeover and is now available in our Dark Danish Oil finish.

Our Shop Space at The Ilminster Emporium

The Ilminster Emporium in Somerset has welcomed a new trader in ‘Modern Vintage’ with lovely original clothing and accessories by Mulberry and other heritage brands from the UK.

We were asked to make a dressing mirror to complement the ‘ Modern Vintage’ shop space which is opposite our own handmade wooden furniture and we love this elegant thick framed mirror, which sits on a sturdy wooden stand, available to buy from the Ilminster Emporium, Silver Street TA19 0DH.

Our latest handmade furniture &’Lock Down’ life in Somerset.

By

We hope that you are staying safe and well during this health emergency, our online shop is closed and we have put the team on furlough, Marc is single manning the furniture workshop and we are taking on a low volume of orders (lead times have increased by 1 – 2 weeks)

Although we are very grateful for all of the support from the local council, NHS and essential workers helping us through, it has taken quite a bit of adjustment and stress here in the Wood household, as we know that it has for many of us.

We are enjoying spending family time on our daily walks through the Somerset countryside, which is on our doorstep (see our Instagram for more pics) and we can amuse ourselves with classic board-games from the loft, plus the boys got home haircuts last week!
At Marc Wood Bespoke Joinery in Somerset UK we craft furniture, mirrors and picture frames from sustainable natural wood. Our modern rustic wooden furniture designs are custom made to order and we can deliver and install near to Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Dorset and Taunton.
We were very excited to launch our new shop space in the Ilminster Emporium at the end of March, we held a party in the shop with local small businesses and our friends and family, the Mayor even helped out by cutting the ribbon, marking the official opening!
After several great weeks in this very lovely iconic building in the old town centre we all made the decision to close up our shop just before the ‘lock-down’ went into effect across the UK.
Although it was sad to say goodbye to all the other lovely Emporium traders and our new friends on the committee, we all felt that it was irresponsible to encourage visitors into the town as the virus took hold across the country.
We will all be back with great new displays as soon as we can and we hope that you will be able to visit the Emporium on Silver Street on your next visit to South Somerset.
At Marc Wood Bespoke Joinery in Somerset UK we craft furniture, mirrors and picture frames from sustainable natural wood. Our modern rustic wooden furniture designs are custom made to order and we can deliver and install near to Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Dorset and Taunton.
In the days before we made the decision to close the workshop we also completed our latest handmade pieces.  A chunky modern rustic sideboard (seen here in it’s new home!) and our new design of ‘tall boy’ chest of drawers, which is pictured in our studio and is now in Scotland thanks to our dedicated specialist courier Barry Whitcher, who is still working hard ensuring that items get from A to B across the country.
Both of these pieces of furniture make use of our classic ‘cut out’ handle and we will be featuring the ‘tall boy’ and lots of other new handmade items in our online shop once we are open again.

This April we reached the milestone of 100 subscribers to our YouTube channel and we will be adding more videos in the coming weeks, find us under Marc Wood Joinery.
Woodworking tips & tricks:
This month we have an ingenious tip for smooth sanding around a curve.
It can be challenging to sand a curve and you often need your piece of sanding paper to be solid yet supple enough to carefully remove surface layers whilst fitting into the required shape.
Cover a flexible A5 notepad with sandpaper of the necessary grade for your needs and curve the notepad to fit into the curve of your wood then you have a very useful and study sanding pad.
If you place an edge of the sanding paper into the notebook, the pages will secure it as you apply pressure. Find out more about woodworking technique on this great easy to read blog.

We will be back with another update next month and if there is anything which we can create for your home, just ask. 

Best Wishes,
Marc & Rachel Wood
