The care and attention to detail that Richard at The Turners Workshop gave our projects in helping restore our Georgian House was first class. Its so refreshing that in a time when mass production is more important than quality, craftsman like Richard still exist. Amazing.

Cant thank Richard Findley from The Turners Workshop enough for making a beautiful handmade wooden pattress to compliment an existing one in my home. Richard took all the relevant details including measurements to get the requirements spot on. You just cant buy these parts anymore as theyre around 100 years old and even salvage yards may not have them. True skill and craftsmanship show hand turners such as Richard can literally turn their hand to anything including bespoke one off pieces like a stair pattress. Also really appreciated the time given in providing me advice over the phone on how to go about staining / oiling the banister rail and choosing the right stain colour by arranging a couple of mini stain samples to be posted over to me. Would recommend Richard/The Turners Workshop to anyone who needs that one off unique hand made piece using quality materials.

I wanted to repair a drop-leaf pine kitchen table that had broken spindles, but the table sat gathering dust in the garage for nearly 12 months. Over that time I had contacted quite a few bespoke wood turning companies without success, until I finally had a positive reply from Richard of 'The Turner's Workshop'. The spindles I purchased matched the originals perfectly. Richard was prepared to stain the spindles, but I needed to this myself as I had to re-stain the table top. I sent a photograph of one of the broken spindles to Richard and he recommended a couple of stains. I chose one of these and once stained they were a perfect match to the table. I cannot thank Richard enough, he is a top craftsman and I can recommend him without hesitation. Thank you.
