#1 Best seller - Dovetail Bench
Dovetail Bench
Our original and iconic Dovetail bench is our most popular product, first brought to you back in 2018 when the company first launched!
The "dovetail" design is based around the traditional carpenters dovetail joint; a hard joint to master, but extremely strong and beautiful, something this bench embodies.
Made from an air dried, solid oak beam, locally sourced in Dorset, with our own "raw" steel dovetail inlayed legs - this bench has a wonderful rustic charm, yet timeless style about it.
This bench is available in standard lengths of 600, 1200, 1800 & 2400mm! However, as all our benches are hand made to order, we can actually make it to any length you like!
New stainless steel and powder coated leg options are now available!
Meet Goliath - Built to last a lifetime
Goliath
As the biblical name suggests; this bench is a beast, but unlike the story, these are built to last!
Our goliath benches are made from locally sourced, Dorset, air dried oak. These oak beams are solid and weighty. So much so we make our "raw steel" legs from 8mm thick, 60mm wide solid steel bar!
These benches are very versatile and can be used internally* and externally. Each beam has amazing features, from the natural colouration of the wood, to the unique cracks, burrs and knots.
This bench is available in standard lengths of 1200mm (55KG), 1800mm (85KG) & 2400mm (over 100KG!) However, as all our benches are hand made to order, we can actually make it to any length you like!
New stainless steel and powder coated leg options are now available!
*Additional cracks may appear due to the drier internal environment.
