Wooden furniture from our Somerset workshop; new designs Spring 2022

30th March 2022 By Marc Wood

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 mirror designs & more from Somerset:
We hope that you are getting safely back into your routine now that summer is at an end.
Late summer updates: In-between creating some new designs and digitising our paperwork, we have been getting ready for our son’s return to year 6 in school and even finding a few days to celebrate our 9 year wedding anniversary in lovely Devon.
Our workshop team continue to settle into their new ‘socially distanced’ working space, which has inspired Rhian to set up a home workshop of her own!

Our Dovetail mirror in natural Oak.
Our local customer (and plant expert!) Clare asked us to create our classic ‘dovetail’ mirror frame in natural Oak to compliment the new doors and window-ledges of her characterful period cottage renovation.
We love the deep grain which has been really brought out by the application of a clear Osmo Oil finish (see our Facebook page for more of our handmade pieces in their new homes)
Enjoying the west-country
During the school holidays we met up with the old gang from Exeter for a family friendly camper van weekend in Porlock and the children wore off some of that lock-down energy playing until dusk.
Then we spent some time with Rachel’s family in Devon, walking Marv on the beach and enjoying big barbecue dinners.
We are making some more items for sale in our Somerset shop space at The Emporium in Ilminster and there are lots of local artisan traders joining us all the time.
If you are passing by, it is well worth a visit to our lovely little Somerset town.
New Furniture Designs 
We created a bespoke chunky chest of drawers with matching rustic beside table for our lovely Etsy.com customer in London and they kindly got in touch to let us know how happy they are with our work.
A smaller version of these drawers is usually available on our website and in our Etsy shop, we have temporarily closed this listing and others for our larger pieces while we get ready for the full return of our team.
We hope to drop our extra long 8 week lead time very soon, once we have caught up and we really appreciate everyone’s patience and kindness during the long wait.
We also made a large picture frame to house an embroidery sampler and our creative customer has taken the time to send us a photo, we love the way our wooden frame compliments the farmhouse style mantelpiece.
We are now making a new style set of ‘architects drawers with a mix of ceramic and library handles, we will be sharing photos once completed, so check in with our  Instagram.
August’s Bestseller
Our classic large bathroom cabinet with double dovetail mirror doors in the ‘antique’ Danish Oil finish became the month’s bestselling style, this cabinet features our ‘hidden’ handles on the lower front pieces of the doors. Marc wanted to maintain the sleek lines of the subtle curved edges and also to use as much of the wood ‘offcuts’ as possible in order to reduce waste.
5 star Reviews We have a profile on Yell.com (or as we used to know it, the 'Yellow Pages'!)

“ Marc made a superb bathroom cabinet for us. Excellent craftsmanship and a pleasure to deal with”
Mike gave us 5 stars on 7th September and left a lovely comment about the large bespoke bathroom cabinet which we recently made for him.
Our Etsy shop continues to be busy since we re-opened back in May, here is our latest brilliant review from Sally on 8th September:
“ We love this mirror. Its beautifully made and just the right size. We requested the item to be a bit smaller than advertised which Marc was extremely helpful in accommodating. It arrived superbly packed and is perfect for our requirements. Thank you so much”

Best Wishes,

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 kitchen cabinets feature the classic ‘dovetail’ joint on the solid wooden doors.
