I’m Peter …

… a self-taught furniture designer & maker. I started the business in 1994, following several years working as an antique restorer. This was a great introduction to furniture making, as I got to take apart, examine and repair the work of makers, some of whom were very good, others not so good. I generally work on my own, but for larger jobs I have a few friends and colleagues who help out.

I’m a great believer in investing in new equipment both to improve efficiency and to ensure my work is as high quality as possible. Alongside a wide range of machinery and tools, my latest Big Thing has been to get and train in 3D computer design. It has made a big difference both to the presentations I show to my clients, and to my accuracy.

Based in a former builder's yard in Cambridge, the workshop has good road links via the A14 and M11. Taking social distancing into account of course, clients are always welcome to come and visit to view the progress of their projects or discuss a project face to face.
