A little bit of workshop magic

Nick is busy turning the elm spindles that will form the back of a beautiful new chair we’re making, inspired by the classic Ercol style.

There’s something rather lovely about watching a simple piece of timber take shape on the lathe, ready to become part of a piece of furniture that’s built to last.

More to come as this one takes shape!

How classy are the dark tones of this fumed oak open wardrobe? This was handmade in our workshop in Nottinghamshire, and fitted just over the Trent to a client in Lincolnshire - a lovely short delivery day! This is the first part of a transformation to this dressing room. So much storage potential when the space is well utilised!

What a fantastic weekend with Craft In Focus at Hever Castle and we had a truly lovely group of exhibitors around us to make the days a joy!

We’ve had some great discussions with lots of people about our work, handed out hundreds of leaflets, and folded/unfolded our Convertable more times than we care to remember. But it’s all worth it and it’s such a beautiful location to camp at for a few days - child-free too..!

Heading back to the workshops now to get our brains back into making mode. Lots of things to make for deliveries, and restocking ahead of the next show at RHS Wisley in November! Christmas rush anyone?! 🎄

Keep an eye on our Pintail Studio account over the next couple of hours to find out more about this amazing opportunity we’re part of…

We’ve been working on this pair of beautiful pieces over the last month, and yesterday we finally got them in place to transform this stunning loft space in Borough Market, London.

Working from ideas supplied by the customer and adding our own experience to the designs, we worked hard to turn dreams into reality for the client.

A truly special wall-mounted oval desk made in walnut with rattan doors with rattan supplied from the fabulous Westfield Rattan and lighting built in from Häfele UK Ltd.

The space also has a new pull-out sofabed with three big storage drawers beneath. Made in solid black walnut from Lathams Ltd and finished off with some perfectly plush cushions using a really lovely fabric from Wemyss called Fiora - the green pops so deliciously against the walnut!

From a rough slab of oak to this. 🪵✨
After sharing the process behind this piece over the last week, she’s officially finished, polished, and ready to hold some music.
There’s something incredibly rewarding about working with solid oak the weight of it, the grain pattern, and knowing that this stand is built to last for generations. Swipe to see how those final details came together in the workshop!
Huge thanks to everyone who followed along with the build updates. What do you think of the finished piece?
