Below is a selection of recent Wishes.
If you have a particular project in mind, please give me a call or email me.
Bespoke Understairs Storage
The client wished for an understairs shoe and coat storage solution to tie in with their existing window and waist high cupboard. WoodWish designed, manufactured and installed two MR MDF and Beech Plywood push to open and close drawer units using high quality Blum hardware, and a full-height cupboard with a bi-fold door and hanging rail.
Office Desk & Bookshelf Suite
The client wished for a contemporary and practical Office Suite. WoodWish designed, manufactured, installed and finished a freestanding Beech Plywood Bookcase alongside a Beech Plywood Desk, with large capacity soft-close Drawer and Floating Shelves. A combination of mitre joints and dadoes (housing grooves) allowed us to ‘show off’ the plywood edges. Finished in Rubio MonoCoat Pure.
Hallway Cabinets & Shelves
The client wished for a flexible hallway storage solution. WoodWish designed, manufactured, installed and finished multiple cabinets in English Oak, MR MDF and Poplar. We installed an array of cupboards, flexible shelving options and a solid wood bench all finished in Rubio MonoCoat Dark Oak and Farrow & Ball-matched Johnstone’s emulsion.
Veneered Demi-Lune Table
It’s great to sharpen your skills and for this beauty I had the privilege of being instructed by Ian Parker @ianparkerstudio - an outstanding and multi-award-winning artist, designer, fine furniture maker and teacher. A truly flawless result achieved by a combination of traditional methods, laminating Poplar, veneering Masur Birch & London Plane, and a lot of patience, love and focus. Thank you Ian, so much.
Utility Room Cupboards
The client wished for a practical utility room storage solution. WoodWish designed, manufactured, installed and finished cabinets in MR MDF and Poplar. Two tall cupboards and an under-sink cupboard hid the boiler from view and provided excellent storage spaces. Finished in Farrow & Ball-matched Johnstone’s emulsion.
White Oak Desk
The client wished for a practical, sturdy and contemporary desk for their son’s bedroom. We designed the desk in solid Oak using various joinery techniques: lap joints; mortice & tenons; square and angled through-dovetails. Finished in Rubio Monocoat Super White.
Utility Room Cabinets
The client wished to renovate their Utility Room by hiding a washing machine, boiler, water and gas pipes. WoodWish designed, manufactured and installed Poplar, MDF and Birch Plywood cabinetry to match the one existing cupboard. Finished with a granite countertop and Crown Emulsion.
Understairs Wine Cabinetry
The client wished for a bespoke wine storage centrepiece. WoodWish designed, manufactured and installed an English Oak and Glass wall, complete with bifold door and hands-free drawer storage to make best use of all space available. Lap-Joint and Mortice & Tenon joinery, finished in Danish Oil.
Fitted Hallway Cabinet
The client wished for a practical, elegant and bespoke fitted furniture solution. WoodWish designed, manufactured and installed a solid wood cabinet in English Oak, Poplar and Birch. Eight cupboards, a shelf, a bench and plenty of hanging space finished in Danish Oil and Farrow & Ball paints.
Solid Oak Stable Door
The client wished for a stylish, functional door and sill for their garden room. We designed them in solid Oak door with a combination of floating and fixed tenons to allow for seasonal wood movement. Crafted with both machined and hand-cut joinery for a perfect fit.
Walnut Nesting Tables
The client wished for a pair of classic, attractive and practical nesting tables in keeping with their existing furniture. We designed the tables in American Walnut, using mortice & tenon joinery and finished in Briwax’s Jacobean natural beeswax.
Hardwood Beech Desk
The client wished for a solid, spacious and eye-catching modern desk. We designed and created angular furniture from English Beech, with mortice and tenon, dowel & lap-joint joinery finished in Danish Oil.
Bedroom Corner Unit
The client wished for a solution that would overcome a masonry obstruction in the corner of an upstairs bedroom. We designed a bespoke Bookshelf and Drawer unit in Birch Plywood, finished in Satin Emulsion and Natural Oil.
Built-In Chest of Drawers
The client wished for a built-in Chest of Drawers to make better use of available cupboard space. WoodWish delivered a full design, build, installation and finish in quality Birch Plywood and Curly Maple Hardwood.
Vestry Cabinets
The church vestry needed to make better use of available space. A full design, build, installation and finish in quality Birch Plywood delivered the perfect solution.
Office Desk
The client wished for a practical and functional home office solution. Recessed drawer units in Birch Plywood topped with an Oak and steel reinforced 40mm slab. Finished in satin emulsion and liming wax.
