Custom furniture

LP Woodwork designs and builds custom furniture defined by careful proportion, honest materials and enduring craftsmanship. Each piece is made to suit its setting and purpose, resulting in work that feels considered, functional and quietly distinctive. The focus is on creating furniture that will be used daily and valued for years to come.

Each piece made with soul

From my workshop in the village of Newstead, Central Victoria, Australia, I make one-off pieces of furniture. Often starting with just the wisp of an idea and some special wood, I hope to work thoughtfully & sensitively and do justice to the wood. Furniture with soul.

At this stage, I’m not taking on commissions, however, I do have exhibits of my work occasionally, or may have pieces for sale in my store.

"Handmade furniture should last for generations. But this doesn't just mean durability. The details of a piece create a rhythm, ensuring it will reveal itself slowly. It will unfold, there will be discoveries that are not immediate."

John Shaw, friend and mentor
