Striving for Perfection
About Us
Unique bespoke wood and metalwork items handmade in the UK
Our range encompasses furniture, practical and decorative items, toys and gifts, but if you have an idea for something not already included, just talk to us.
We work in hardwoods such as Maple, Tulip, Sapele, Sycamore, Cherry, Western Red Cedar and White Oak, but we are happy to work in other rarer woods such as Osage, Purple, Heart, European Ash, Rosewood, Zebrano, Witch Elm, Chestnut, Walnut, Idigbo and Fruitwoods when we can get them.
If you have solid hardwood furniture you would like us to recycle into new items for you - just ask!
The craftsmen and women here at Shokunin embrace the true meaning of the Shokunin spirit.
Together we encompass several hundred years of commitment to quality and originality, and a passion to keep traditional skills alive, enabling us to produce the most beautifully unique pieces, each of which is individually designed and lovingly crafted using the very best, carefully selected materials and the finest workmanship, to bring you your own example of what it is to embrace Shokunin.
As part of our workshop space we also have our own forge and can incorporate individual pieces from the forge in a unique combination of traditional crafts.
