Solid wood
We use solid timber instead of veneered board, so a surface can be sanded and renewed years later.
Solid wood furniture workshop, Bursa

01 Workshop
What we make
Every job starts with a cut list: which part, which wood, which size. We wrote down the work of our workshop in the same way.
| No | Work | How it is made | Wood |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Dining and work tables | Tops in one piece or jointed solid wood; legs and rails are drawn for your room. | Walnut, oak |
| 02 | Cabinets and bookcases | Built to fit a wall, an alcove or the space under the stairs; every surface is wood, backs included. | Oak, ash |
| 03 | Seating | Chairs, benches and stools, assembled with mortise and tenon and dowels instead of screws. | Ash, cherry |
| 04 | Repair and renewal | Loose joints are remade, surfaces sanded back and protected again with oil. | Existing wood |
02 Our new site
Our old site and our new site, side by side
We rebuilt our website without leaving you behind. Drag the slider or use the buttons: on the left the page we used for years, on the right the site today.
What changed
Easy to read on a phone
The old page was drawn for desktop only; the new site was designed for the phone first.
Faster to load
Photos were compressed and the old player and plugins that slowed every visit were removed.
Old addresses still work
Every old page is linked to its closest new page with a permanent redirect.
Product pages kept
The topic and title of the product pages people searched for were kept; the text was updated.
Where does your old link go?
If you arrived through an old link, you are in the right place. We tested every row before launch; pages without a direct match go to the most relevant parent page, not to the home page.

A chair in for repair: first we decide what to keep.
03 Our difference
Keep what is good, rebuild the rest properly
The rule we followed for our new website is the rule we have long followed in furniture: protect what has value, remake what is weak.
Visible joints
We do not hide dovetails or mortise and tenon joints; that is where the strength comes from.
Made to measure
Each piece is drawn from measurements taken in your home, so you never give up space to fit a standard size.
Repairable finish
An oil and wax finish lets a scratch be repaired in that spot alone.
04 Process
Five steps from first talk to installation
You know what happens at every step; the drawing and the quote reach you in writing.

First talk
We discuss what you need, where it will live and which wood you prefer.
- 20 cm
Measuring
Someone from the workshop visits, measures the space and takes photos.
- 30 cm
Drawing and wood
We review the drawing and wood samples together and confirm the final version in writing.
- 40 cm
Making
The piece is cut, joined and oiled in the workshop; we share photos along the way.
- 50 cm
Delivery and fitting
We deliver ourselves, fit the piece in place and leave a care note.
05 Questions
Frequently asked
How long does a piece take?
It depends on the size of the piece, whether the wood is ready and the queue in the workshop. Once the drawing is approved we give you a delivery date in writing and share photos along the way.
How do I find out the price?
A fair price is not possible before the measurements and drawing are clear. After our talk we prepare a written quote that shows wood, size and labour on separate lines.
Do you repair old furniture?
Yes, we repair solid wood pieces. We look at the piece first and check the joints and the surface; if a repair does not make sense, we say so plainly.
Is solid wood hard to look after?
Not at all. Oiled surfaces are wiped with a damp cloth, and a thin coat of care oil once or twice a year is enough. We leave a written care note on delivery.
A link from your old site does not open. What should I do?
All old addresses were redirected to the new pages, so most saved links take you to the right place. If you find one that does not open, send it to us and we will check it and add the redirect.
