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

30th April 2020 By Marc Wood

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

Our handcrafted kitchen furniture includes cabinets & storage islands for practical, stylish cookery & display spaces; be inspired by our update of the classic West Country farmhouse kitchen!

This impressive glass fronted wall cabinet is a beautiful showcase for your vintage crockery and elegant glassware. Each is custom handmade to order from solid natural wood by Marc Wood Joinery in our Somerset workshop.

Carefully designed by Marc and handcrafted from a mixture of reclaimed wood and sustainable timbers by Marc and our talented small team in our rural Somerset workshop, our modern rustic kitchen furniture encompasses compact wall cabinets, extra large tables and granite worktop island trolleys. 

this kitchen island trolley has a high quality solid granite worktop and 2 shelves. The upper shelf is in slatted wood to aid the circulation of fresh air and increase the shelf life of your fruit & vegetables. Designed and custom handmade to any size by Marc Wood Joinery in Somerset UK.

Our kitchen furniture is handcrafted from real, natural wood and is a design fusion of traditional rustic farmhouse style and a more contemporary sleekly modernist design.

We love the classic angular ‘dovetail’ joint, which works as both as a durable jointing technique and a quirky decoration for our cabinet doors.  

The subtly curved corners of our wooden and glass fronted cabinets combine with our signature ‘hidden’ integrated wooden handles to offer stylish modernist simplicity with the mellow informality of natural wood. 

Thoughtfully designed by Marc and handcrafted from a mixture of reclaimed wood and Forest Stewardship Council certified timbers by Marc and our small team in our Somerset workshop; this wall mounted double door kitchen cabinet features the distinctively shaped 'dovetail' joints reminiscent of heritage country furniture while the smoothly contoured finger jointed corners give this piece a modern mid century design edge.

Our premium eco-friendly wooden bedroom furniture is traditionally handmade to order in our Somerset workshop.

10th September 2018 By Marc Wood Leave a Comment

We can help with your clothing storage and organisation this autumn; our premium eco-friendly wooden chest of drawers is traditionally handmade in our Somerset workshop. With our bespoke service it’s your choice of size, how many drawers, even the Danish Oil finish is a bespoke mix, so it’s completely up to you!

There is a crispness in the air, sometime within the next few weeks the wood burner will be lit for the first time since early Spring, Rachel is online searching for (super easy!) homemade soup recipes and our thoughts turn to those household jobs we somehow just didn’t get around to completing (or even starting) while we were enjoying our sun drenched garden and a cheeky gin and elderflower tonic.

Warming and hearty, homemade seasonal veg soup is the best!

For us, even 20 plus years after leaving full time education, September still has something of the ‘new term, new start’ feel about it all and now our son is actually starting a new term at school it gives us a timely reminder to get back to work in our Somerset workshop.; after all, our new bedroom furniture designs, like our chest of drawers, aren’t going to craft themselves.

Autumn is a great time for some de-cluttering and re-organisation;

We do have many jobs at home that also need attention, though; for instance, our attic bedroom badly needs some tidying and organisation. Piles of clothes, awesome hats, unsuitable but gorgeous shoes, dusty leather bags; all lying about discarded and seemingly unloved.

If you are in a similar situation then you may agree that the poor things really should be neatly folded and tidied away in a dust free home asap; but, what a brilliant justification for commissioning our latest, updated chest of 6 ‘apothecary cabinet’ style drawers in sustainable reclaimed wood and tactile vintage pine, we hear you cry!

vintage pine and reclaimed wood chest of drawers in apothecary cabinet and mid century modern style

Our handmade retro rustic chest of drawers measures a substantial 112.5 cm height X 90 cm width x 42 cm depth.

Our handmade chest of drawers has been updated to add 2 extra drawers for even more stylish storage.

This new release is taller and wider, with 2 extra half width drawers for extra storage space; Marc’s newest design sits within our current handmade bedroom furniture range and continues to artfully fuse the contoured corners and clean lines of mid century modern and Scandinavian furniture styles with a rustic Somerset farmhouse vibe.

Our signature traditionally hand cut handles offer a simple and harmonious feel to this bedroom storage classic, while the specially selected timbers beautifully showcase the natural character of the eco-friendly wood grain.

If this isn’t quite perfect for your needs, contact Marc and Rachel to discuss your own bespoke bedroom furniture piece.
