At Simmonds Handcrafted, every creation begins as a story — shaped by time, tradition, and touch. It starts with the careful selection of the highest pedigree of UK-grown hardwoods, each log chosen for its grain, strength, and character, sustainably sourced from trusted British forests. In our Bristol workshop, where tradition meets innovation, these timbers are transformed into forms of beauty and purpose. The wood is seasoned, leveled, and balanced to ensure its integrity, creating a stable foundation for enduring craftsmanship. Then comes the art of resin, a modern medium that flows through natural contours to highlight the unique dialogue between nature and imagination. Guided by generations of English joinery skill, our artisans carve, shape, and assemble each piece by hand, allowing the material itself to define its final form. Finally, the surface is finished with natural oils and waxes, enhancing the wood’s warmth and depth without concealing its soul. The result is a piece that feels alive — a story told from forest to home, in wood and resin.
