Holt Joinery
Hand-built tables, chairs, and cabinets in solid oak, ash, and walnut. One bench, one maker, and a short waiting list — every piece is made to last a generation and signed underneath.
The Long Table
A ten-seat table in quarter-sawn oak, drawbore-pegged with no metal in the joinery, finished in hard wax oil so it can be sanded back and re-oiled for decades. Commissioned for a farmhouse kitchen and built to be passed down — the kind of piece that earns its scratches. Most commissions run six to ten weeks from the first drawing to delivery, depending on timber and finish.
In the shop
Theo Holt trained as a cabinetmaker before setting up a one-bench shop on the edge of town. The work is unhurried and joinery-first: hand-cut dovetails, drawbored mortises, and oil finishes that age instead of peel. Timber is bought local and air-dried.
Say hello
Tell me what you are after — a table, a set of chairs, a fitted cabinet — and roughly when you need it. I will send a sketch, a timber suggestion, and an honest lead time before anything is agreed.
