What we do
Three trades, one workshop bench.
From a single Victorian door to a fleet of Yorkshire pine, every wood piece arrives covered in lifetimes of paint and lacquer. We strip them back by hand or in the bath, neutralise, dry, and return them ready to receive their next finish. Sometimes nine layers deep.
