Handcrafted Bespoke Furniture
Nestled between Turnberry and Girvan, Clachan Wood specialises in the design and making of handcrafted bespoke furniture. Run by Stuart Clachan, the company provides a personal approach to bespoke furniture making, ensuring that the needs of our clients are fulfilled and that they are delighted with the finished product.
Whether you are looking for a piece of furniture to fit a particular space or something that you have always wanted but could never find, we are here to make it happen. We encourage the use of windblown Scottish native hardwoods and where possible it is sourced and sawn within South Ayrshire followed by drying at our workshop.
Striking and functional design means that our furniture instantly becomes a centrepiece in any home and will continue to be used for many years.
Commissioning
Commissioning a piece of handcrafted bespoke furniture with Clachan Wood is easy and enjoyable. That’s because our straightforward process ensures close collaboration between our craftsman and our clients.
From the initial contact, a meeting will be arranged. If a meeting at your home is not practical, then drawings or photographs can be sent via email and telephone conversations would take place to discuss ideas.
If you have a particular idea of what you are looking for, then the more information you can provide the better, e.g. style, size, material and purpose. If you would like the piece to complement existing furniture, then a few photographs may be helpful.
As we stock a variety of hardwoods, it may be worthwhile for you to visit our workshop. There you can see the wood that could potentially be used in your piece of furniture.
Once a suitable design with respect to function, form and finish has been agreed upon, a 50% deposit is paid and work will commence. Computer generated representations can be prepared to give a good idea of scale and appearance. The overall timescale of this process can vary from a few weeks to a few months depending on the size of the project but it will be well worth the wait.
If detailed drawings are required a small fee may be charged that is refundable if the commission is undertaken.
