Website: http://www.lethenty-mill.com
Over the last 30 years, I have worked hard to establish Lethenty Mill Furniture as a company with a reputation for producing quality items of wooden Scottish furniture and hand-made kitchens. Over the past few years, the emphasis has been on teaching others to make quality items of furniture using traditional hand tools and woodworking techniques.
Many of the items of furniture produced at Lethenty Mill Furniture, which is located near Aberdeen, are based on traditional local furniture and my own designs.
Since its establishment, Lethenty Mill Furniture has supplied customers throughout the North East of Scotland and beyond with timeless pieces of solid Scottish wooden furniture, including tables, chairs, beds, stools, dressers and drawers.
Five years ago, I started running furniture making evening classes within the workshops at Lethenty Mill, Aberdeenshire so that I could pass on my craft skills and woodworking knowledge to others. Following the success of these furniture making evening classes, I have developed a range of self study DIY furniture making projects and self-build wooden kits to allow even more people to access the joy of traditional Scottish furniture making in wood.

“Maybe he was a pattern maker”. Alexander, my oldest son, is an engineer and was looking at the collection of gouge chisels as I put their tray back in the chest. I was wondering why Mr Wake had so many gouge chisels and whether that was a clue...

In some ways I would be proud to have “Bodger” on my CV. The gentlemen who made chair spindles in the beech woods in and around Buckinghamshire when Charles Dickens was writing were called Bodgers. It’s hard to see where the connection with “b...

In the tool chest I have a collection of antique tools which is comprehensive enough for me to be able to take squared off, straight pieces of wood, make them into chair components and then make them into a chair. I will discuss the contents o...

You may be wondering when I am going to stop daydreaming and get on with making a chair. The short movie that I produced to accompany this entry provides a ‘short-cut’ to the main action! It’s just that I know that some people ar...
