Dear Friends, after 30 years of both making & restoring beautiful timber furniture Bob has decided to take a well deserved retirement from cabinetmaking & cease trading.

We are still available on-site at various times & will be reaching out to all clients about the collection of outstanding goods still on-site over coming days.

It’s been a huge task packing up the shed and we are still in the process but expect to be fully closed by the end of May.

We will still be in and around Dubbo and can be contacted via our email or via our mobiles to assist you where we can.

We wanted to send out a message of our sincerest thanks to each & everyone for all your support and loyalty over the years. We will miss you all very much.

We know there will be a huge hole left in the local area for access to rare skill sets and the products offered & provided by Bob and our team over the years but we can only trust that the next generation of young cabinetmakers, polishers and upholsterers will step up & assist meet local needs.

Again thank you for all your support over many wonderful years. We will miss you all very much but hopefully catch up in the weeks and months ahead. Bob and I are both very excited to start our next chapter in the book of life!

Happy Easter 🐣

Kind regards,
Peta & Bob
