Four pieces of our reclaimed timber offcuts have been prepped and flattened ready for Jonathan to work his magic!

Timber species clockwise from top left: Serbian Walnut, French Walnut, Burr Oak, Scottish Elm.

The top two will be serving boards with lovely cast iron handles, the Burr piece will become a shelf clock and the bottom one is destined to become a coffee/side table - we were mulling over routing a pool into it for three resin embedded 120 million year old Cleoniceras Ammonite fossils - what do you think?

They will all feature on the 'Buy it Now' section of our website (unless someone snaps one of them up before they get on there, which has been known!)

Did you know we also make kitchen bar stools...? Here's a couple of examples in Oak and Walnut, steel and leather. As they are all bespoke and handcrafted we can design them to fit with your existing kitchen, making them a quick and easy update!

The seat pads for the Oak counter-height stools were hand-carved from Oak grown on the client’s grandfather’s own woodland near Isfield in Sussex. We crafted four of these for Angus as well as a bay window table from the same Oak, which was also used to make a live-edge table and bench for his brother George. No-one can say that we let an ounce of fabulous timber go to waste!

The Walnut, leather and raw steel bar stools were made for Marissa in Cookham, Surrey. We also crafted a breakfast bar extension and statement-piece dining table for her using the same timber.

So, we're in the process of revamping our website (do check it out at handmadeinbrighton.com, feedback very welcome, please be kind!) consequently I've been trawling through our extensive (as it turns out 😊) portfolio of commissions from the last decade.

This piece was the first large live-edge dining table we made way back in 2015 for our lovely client Marissa in Cookham, Surrey, who famously said that it was her favourite thing in the whole house, and that included her husband and children (!). I think she was only partly joking 🤣.

It's hand-crafted from three joined European Walnut slabs incorporating organically shaped “hand-holds”, plus an embedded 120 million year old Cleoniceras Ammonite fossil and Mahogany bow-keys (a traditional woodworker's way of joining two pieces of wood).

Finish: Satin Osmo Polyx hardwax-oil (). Legs: Trapezium steel leg frames.

We also crafted her a breakfast bar extension and two stools using the same gorgeous timber (pics to follow).

The photos here show the finished table, a snapshot of Jon chatting with Marissa's dad, finishing up with some process photographs.
