The Wood Womble
"Making good use of the things that we find"
Re-using and re-cycling timber to create aesthetic and practical pieces for your home.
All individual and handcrafted in our local workshop. We take commissions on any items you would like to re-cycle, re-fresh or re-purpose.
The 3 R's
Re-cycle
Reclaimed floorboards re-cycled into a bookcase.
We use second hand materials and give them a new lease of life.
Re-purpose
Re-purpose an old sewing table into a drinks cabinet.
We take second hand furniture and other used items and make them into something new.
Re-fresh
Re-fresh that old dresser into something to match your existing decor.
Some items are already great they just need a little TLC or modernising.
We could source a dresser for you and restyle and/repaint to suit or re-cycle your present furniture.

About 'The Wood Womble'.
.
After leaving school I served my time as an apprentice carpenter and joiner. I gained an Advanced City & Guilds qualification. Apart from some time traveling and teaching watersports, I've spent all my working life in the building trade. I have over 30 years experience, most of which was as a self-employed carpenter but I have also worked as a joiner, specialist interior design carpenter and I have worked for a bespoke kitchen manufacturer.
During my time in the building trade I've seen that there is always an element of wastage, so I now try and put some of that waste to good use at my local workshop.
