Bough and Burr Furniture Designer and maker of bespoke wooden furniture and homeware from sustainably sourced native Irish timber. Contact me for more info or head to my website

I specialise in working with live edge timber, maintaining a natural aesthetic in my furniture. Founded on my passion for woodworking and love for nature. I started Bough and Burr Furniture in 2021 following years of making handmade wooden furniture as a hobby. My goal is to make beautiful, heirloom quality furniture from only the finest, locally sourced native timbers. Each piece is designed by me and handmade in my Belfast workshop. I specialise in contemporary, live edge furniture design. Every slab of timber, like a snowflake, is unique which will give its own distinct character to the finished piece. Sustainability is at the heart of everything I do. I only use the finest native Scottish and Irish timber. Each piece of wood is sourced from select local sawmills who can guarantee the quality and provenance of the tree. For every commission I get a native tree planted here in Ireland

This new piece is all about flow and contrast. The natural curve of the live edge of the timber, this movement is mirrored in the grain pattern as it flows along the slab

Theres a beautiful contrast between pale sapwood and dark heartwood which I carried through into my butterfly inlays

Handmade furniture is about taking your time.
Laying out the joinery is such an important skill when you want to create repeatable joinery by hand.

This table has 14 mortise and tenon joints on the frame. With another 10 mortises for the wooden buttons that joint the top and frame
