Dovetail Scotland

We have been in business now for 10 years, designing and building solid wood furniture from local hardwood. During this time we have created a diverse portfolio from curved oak decks to the Glengoyne Distillary tasting room furniture. We have also diversified into sign-work, heavy timber frames and set up a saw mill and kiln, with which we now produce most of our own kiln dried timber and beam work. Although self taught, an engineering and construction background has, I believe, allowed for a different approach to furniture making. Designing and building a 2m square natural edged revolving bookcase was certainly a little easier with an engineering background. From the beginning we have worked on the basis that we replace more than we use and as such have planted a few hundred trees to date.(see our environmental policy at 3 years ago we managed to purchase a small woodland close to our home and obtained planning permission for a workshop and outbuildings for air drying timber. Since then we have built the access road and yard and are about to move the saw-milling operation across. Unfortunately we have been unable to obtain the finance required to build the main workshop as yet, but remain optimistic that this will happen soon.
