Autumn news from Marc & Rachel in Somerset: handmade mirrors, picture frames & cabinets.

17th November 2020 By Marc Wood

Welcome to our late Autumn news from Marc Wood Joinery in Somerset. We have been busy crafting our handmade wooden furniture, running Click & Collect from the Ilminster Emporium and getting design inspiration from our Somerset farmhouse workshop. This month we feature our bespoke wooden picture frame and bathroom cabinet. With 5 star reviews for our chunky framed wooden wall mirror and our bestseller has been our large mirror with shelf.

Hello from Somerset!

  We hope that you are keeping safe and well under the current C19 restrictions and that you have not been too badly affected by the closures.
  Here in the Southwest we feel fortunate that the November lock down in England has been very different from earlier in the year; all of our local suppliers remain open and we can continue to make our mirrors, picture frames and cabinets.
We can still get ‘take out’ hot chocolate at the beach and our 10 year old son is back in school with his friends.
What next for our high street shop space?
  The Ilminster Emporium has been closed since Bonfire Night along with the other ‘non essential’ shops in our little town, which is difficult as we approach the usual time for Christmas shopping.
  We traders all pulled together to set up a successful Click & Collect service and you can still buy a small range of our handmade mirrors, picture frames and cabinets from the shop.
The Ilminster Emporium has been closed since Bonfire Night along with the other ‘non essential’ shops in our little Somerset town so we traders all pulled together to set up a successful Click & Collect service and you can still buy our handmade wooden picture frames, mirrors and cabinets.
  As the news was coming in about the new English lock down and after working so hard to build up the momentum lost in March, we all wanted to keep the Emporium going, even if we couldn’t open as normal.
  We set up a new Instagram page and pledged to collectively promote every traders items as often as we could on our social pages.
We also have an evolving window display to entice our lovely local customers to keep shopping with us.
  So far the results have been really good and we are very thankful for everyone who has continued to support our little shop.
  You can contact us via the Emporium Facebook page to reserve any items.

Our workshop at Flaxdrayton Farm may be chillier in the Autumn months, but it can also be very beautiful with a frosty morning sparkle or an eerie mist in the afternoon and we have taken some really atmospheric photos over the years.
Autumn in the workshop
As the weather turns colder we have stopped using the extra outdoor space which we hired to help social distancing in our workshop.
We are carefully balancing the staffing hours to continue to keep the team safe and unfortunately that means that our extra long lead times have not yet returned to their pre pandemic low of 2 – 3 weeks.

Our lovely new customer Susan gave us 5 stars on the 9th November and left a review of the extra wide frame wooden mirror which we recently made for her. “ My mirror is beautiful, very well made and stunning in its simplicity! ”
5 star Reviews
We are now into double figures with our reviews on Google and it is really helping our little business to stand out on the web, we want to say a HUGE thanks to all who have taken the time to leave us a comment or two.

Marc and our team are all working very hard and we and hope to be able to extend this offer with a special limited number of mirrors and picture frames, available for delivery right up until Christmas week, please watch our social pages for updates.
Every November we have a little family celebration to remember when our crazy Jack Russell ‘Marv’ came to live with us, 4 years ago. We are so pleased that we made the decision to collect our bouncy puppy a few weeks before Christmas to give us all time to settle in before the chaos of wrapping paper and shiny decorations added to the daily disarray of lost squeaky toys and a knocked over water bowl. Marv is still very playful and his water bowl sometimes gets knocked over still, but we all love him.
The best Christmas gift (with a waggy tail!)

At Marc Wood Joinery in Somerset we are always very interested to see the photos that you send us of your handmade pieces in their new home. This month we have Hesta’s two large picture frames and Debby’s mirrored bathroom wall cabinet to show off and we think they look great.
 Your photographs
Our kind customers have kept us going these past few months, closing completely in March was very upsetting and like many others we honestly did not know if we would have a business to come back to.
Your understanding of our extra long lead times has been much appreciated and we are always very interested to see the photos that you send us of your handmade pieces in their new home.
This month we have Hesta’s two large picture frames and Debby’s mirrored bathroom wall cabinet to show off and we think they look great.
For more customer photos see our Pinterest pages.
We will be back with another update next month.
If you have any questions or if there is anything which we can create for your home, just ask. 
Best Wishes,
Marc & Rachel Wood

  3. 5 upcycled wooden coat hanger hooks which are long enough for your coat and hats, slim enough for your keys and strong enough to support an everyday bag.

Handmade from Natural Sustainable Wood

In our Somerset workshop, we work with natural timbers such as Redwood or Larch.

We use traditionally joinery technique and the classic Dovetail joint as seen at the edges of the wooden frame on our mirror with shelf and coat hanger hooks has become our design signature.

We believe in sustainable small-scale manufacture, re-using materials and sourcing locally wherever possible.
