The OMEGA bench, mid build

The workshop

How a piece is made

01

Measuring

We measure the room and agree the figures with you. Nothing is cut until the measurements are signed off.

02

Milling

Boards are selected for the piece, not the batch. Grain is matched across a top before thicknessing.

03

Joinery

Mortise-and-tenon frames, cut to fit rather than to a tolerance. A joint that holds without hardware is one less thing to fail.

04

Finish

Hand-oiled or waxed in the same building, then photographed in the room it was made for.

Four timbers, and what each one does

Walnut

Ash

Beech

Oak
