Dovetailors We specialise in custom made furniture, product design and commercial wood component manufacturing.

At Dovetailors all our furniture designs are tailored to suit your style and needs. You give us an idea of what you want, and we make it by hand into something truly bespoke. And if you don’t have an idea of what you’re looking for, don’t worry, we can work it out together.

Precision doesn’t stop when a piece leaves the workshop.

Every piece we make goes through careful quality checks along the way, making sure the details, finish and craftsmanship are right before it heads out the door.

Want to see how it all comes together? Join us at Dovetailors for the House of Estila event on Wednesday 16 September, where we’ll be opening up the workshop and taking you behind the scenes of furniture making.

Look closely: stable construction, considered joints, honest materials, a finish suited to use and evidence that the piece can be repaired or refreshed over time.

Precision at every stage.

Each component is fitted and checked before moving on, helping us maintain the same standard across the full batch.

It’s the small, repeatable processes that make the difference — from the first piece to the last.

Behind every finished piece is a process of testing, learning and refining.

During product development, a sample helps answer the practical questions that drawings alone can’t: Will it move as intended? Will it hold? Can it be machined cleanly? How does the material respond? Does the finish work? And, ultimately, does it feel right?

Each test gives us something to take into the next version, gradually turning a creative idea into something that can be made reliably and work as intended.

This month, we’re going behind the finished piece to look at the work that makes it possible.

From CNC machining and material testing to hand finishing, prototyping and small-batch manufacture, August is about the precision, skill and problem-solving behind our process.

Wood is not a uniform sheet material. It has grain, tone, direction and behaviour. Choosing well is part of the craft and part of making furniture that lasts.

Flow is not just a current product. It is evidence of refinement: sculpted curves, solid hardwood, careful joinery and a form resolved enough to stack without losing its character.

A prototype reveals the practical truth of an idea: where the material wants support, where an edge needs changing, where a beautiful detail becomes easier to make and better to live with.

The Moor Chair is quiet by design. Wood for structure and warmth. Wool for comfort and tactility. A form that does not shout, but rewards being lived with.

Our workshop has always been about the meeting point between skill and technology. CNC gives us repeatable accuracy. Skilled makers bring judgement, touch and the ability to see what the drawing cannot fully explain.
