Beautiful commemorative bench for my Dad, thank you!
Johno Poole | 6 Jan 2019 | |
Extremely pleased with the whole process...
...from the initial order process to the company sorting the installation with the council cemetery department to receiving the invoice after everything was sited and in place. Our family are very happy with the memorial bench, having it carved was absolutely the right choice. A tribute built to last and stand the test of time and a place to reflect when we pay our respects to our loved ones. Thank you very much on behalf of The Swift family.
Sharon Gaskin | 17 Oct 2018 | |
Thank you Luke for a beautiful bench made as a memorial for my Mother in law.
It is really lovely, perfect. We have sited it in a Victorian cemetery in the midst of old graves and a fernery. We all love it.

FIRST CLASS PRODUCTS & SERVICE
Contacted Woodcraft to arrange for some very complex work on a plaque and two laminates. As these are for a memorial nature, it was so important to get it right. Numerous emails with details etc, but the end result was an absolutely fantastic product. Mike you've done us proud and we have no hesitation recommending your fine work....thank you.

Covid-19 Memorial Woodland in South Hornchurch

We were asked to produce a large semi circular curved bench to fit around a rather special commemoration that the good people of Havering Borough Council were creating. The Memorial Woodland consists of over 4000 trees, wildflowers and a wetland area, planted by volunteers, alongside our memorial bench. It was created in remembrance of all of those who lost their lives to this terrible disease and pays tribute to the sacrifices that both the key workers and local community made throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bespoke corner angled bench and table

A new bespoke outdoor bench and table was requested from a private customer in South Wales. The new wooden bench and table replaced the previous bench, patio table and chairs, however, the request came with some very interesting and specific requirements.

Making a bespoke triangular garden table.

A private customer in London approached us with this interesting project. Due to constraints in the dimensions of their garden we were asked to produce a very specific size and shape of garden table. This outdoor dining table measures 3 meters by 2.8 meters by 2 meters and has been created with a central parasol hole. The top and base frame needed to be able to be separated to gain access through the house and then re-assembled once it is in position. Here are some pictures of the garden table in production showing the table top frame.

Our brand new Saltwick modular garden bench takes shape

Our brand new Saltwick modular park and garden bench is nearing completion ahead of our 30th Anniversary in 2020. So far the bench comes in 6 shapes, 1/4 length concave bench, 1/4 length convex bench, 1/5 section length concave bench, 1/5 length section convex bench, 3 seater straight bench and single seater bench. All benches can be assembled together to form any shape you like and can fit along any border of garden, park, tennis court or bowling green.

New bespoke curved bench heading to London

We're really proud of this bespoke curved bench we have created for a private customer in London. Initially we were contacted by a landscape management company who gave us their designs for the bench and asked if we could make it. Based on the smooth curved lines of the Scarborough bench this bench and table would feel very at home as part of the wider set.

Woodcraft News

From a woodworking class to world class woodworking. The story of how a hobby turned into delivering craftsmanship for over 35 years.

Founded in 1990 by Michael Davidson, Woodcraft UK has evolved from a small venture into a prominent manufacturer of high-quality wooden furniture. While many might assume that Michael's background aligns with furniture design or manufacturing, the origins of Woodcraft UK are rooted in an entirely different field: computer analysis. This article explores the fascinating journey of Woodcraft UK, highlighting its growth, and commitment to craftsmanship. A Transformative Journey In the late 1980s, Michael Davidson was engaged in a demanding contract that required him to travel frequently. To unwind from his professional obligations, he enrolled in a woodwork course, seeking a creative outlet. Little did he know that this decision would lead to a profound career shift. Michael reflects on his experience: "Working with wood is fantastic. It's so creative and satisfying, and you have total control over the outcome. That doesn't mean that it's easy though, far from it. The craft requires a huge amount of patience, dedication, precision, and respect, not to mention a keen eye, strong memory, and the ability to learn from your mistakes.” Encouraged by his tutor and driven by a newfound passion, Michael made the pivotal decision to establish Woodcraft UK, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey in craftsmanship. Evolution of Woodcraft UK Initially, Woodcraft UK focused on producing rocking horses, doll's houses, and various gifts and trinkets. However, as demand for outdoor furniture surged, the company pivoted its business model to specialise in wooden outdoor furniture. This strategic shift not only broadened their product range but also solidified their reputation as a manufacturer of traditionally constructed furniture.

New Beverley bench delivered to Bristol : A Testament to Craftsmanship and Design

In the realm of outdoor furniture, the Beverley wooden garden bench stands out as a remarkable blend of style and sturdiness. Recently, Woodcraft UK crafted a new four-foot version of this elegant bench for a private customer in Bristol. This bench not only highlights the craftsmanship involved but also showcases the enduring appeal of the Beverley range, which includes five-foot and six-foot versions as well as a garden chair and arm chair of the same classic design. Design and Aesthetics The Beverley bench is characterised by its classic style, enhanced by a distinctive flourish on the backrest and front panel. This regal motif adds a touch of sophistication, making it a striking addition to any garden or public grounds. The design is not merely about aesthetics; it reflects a commitment to quality and durability, ensuring that the bench can withstand the elements while maintaining its beauty.
