Selection of wood
A willingness to make small quantities allows the company to pursue
ambitious designs and an inclination to embrace manchinery for the first
cut of raw wood, enables it to invest in more handwork at the end of the
process. |

Manufacturing Process
Dried and treated wood is then hand planed to add a sense of depth or
inflection to the surface. Our joinery tradition of the old world to cut
to fit and refit using mortise and tenon, double dowel or English
dovetail joints is the language of quality spoken softly. The result is
a tightly fit, truly rugged furniture piece enduring for enerations,
less as a matter of glue or hardware than the tested ingenuity of the
maker.On every carved piece the carvers work with the same crisp cut and
often the same countless gauges of varying size and aweep passed from
one generation to the next, the experiance is very much one of an old
worldbench, a room bright with the light of the day and ultimately a
skilled hand. |

Finishing
In the end a superb hand finish is often the difference between art &
craft. Wood finishes are designed to complement the characteristics of
the wood as well as other case goods. Many finishes are available which
incorporate techniques such as hand rubbing distressing and colour
padding to enhance the natural beauty of each piece. On special request
actual gold leaf / silver gliding is done on the furniture pieces. |

Upholstery
Fine upholstery is ultimately measured by its appeal to the eye, the
quality of its material the level of craftsmenship and no less surely
the matter of comfort. The hardwood frame is carefully machined to
control the contours of the upholstery fabric with double dowelled
joints and corner blocks to maintain rigidity and prevent twisting and
wobbling even after years of use. Flow matching of fabrics is done so
that patterns appear to flow uniterrupted throughout the piece, this is
particularly difficult to achieve but is a distinct signature of quality
upholstery. |
