GrainWorks – Where Woodwork Feels Personal

Hi, I’m the hands, heart, and sawdust behind GrainWorks.

I’ve always believed that good craftsmanship should feel personal—not just in the final piece, but in the way it’s made. That’s what I offer through GrainWorks: carefully crafted carpentry and joinery, built by one person who takes the time to get it right.

Whether you’re dreaming up a new kitchen, need a bookcase that fits just right, or want to restore something old and full of character, I’m here to help bring it to life—with patience, care, and a deep respect for the materials I work with.

It’s Just Me—and That’s the Point

There’s no big team behind GrainWorks. No sales department. No subcontractors. When you call, you speak to me. When I measure, build, and install—it’s still me. I like it that way. It means I get to do what I love every day while making sure each job is done with real attention and pride.

Made to Fit Your Space and Style

Most of the projects I take on are custom. That could be a fitted wardrobe that makes the most of a tricky alcove, or a solid wood dining table that becomes the heart of your home. Sometimes it’s a full kitchen refit with custom cabinets, or a hand-built staircase that adds warmth and character to a new build.

Whatever it is, I’ll talk with you about how you use the space, what you like, and what you need. Then I’ll sketch out a plan, source the right materials, and start building—just for you.

Joinery That Adds Detail (and Soul)

Beyond furniture, I also handle traditional joinery work—things like paneling, architraves, doors, windows, shelving, and decorative wood details. These touches might not be the first thing people notice, but they’re what make a space feel thoughtfully finished.

I use old-school techniques blended with modern tools to make sure everything fits beautifully and lasts a long time. Clean lines, smooth finishes, and honest materials—that’s what I’m about.

Restoring the Old, Respectfully

Some of my favourite projects involve restoring older wooden pieces or features in homes. There’s something satisfying about sanding back years of wear and revealing the grain underneath. Whether it’s a tired floorboard, a warped window frame, or a vintage chest of drawers that needs some love, I treat restoration work with a gentle hand and a respect for the original maker.

I also help update kitchens and bathrooms with custom woodwork—giving your space a fresh, functional look while keeping its character intact.

I Also Work With Businesses

If you run a shop, café, office, or guesthouse and want some thoughtful wooden touches, I’d love to help. I’ve built everything from retail counters to café shelving, and I know how to balance practicality with good design.

For commercial spaces, I always keep deadlines and budget in mind, and I’ll work with you to make sure the end result feels right for your brand and customers.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

• We talk first. No pressure. Just a conversation about what you’re after and what might work best.
• I keep things clear. No jargon, no surprises. I’ll give you a fair quote and timeline, and I’ll stick to it.
• You stay in the loop. I’ll check in regularly, send progress updates, and always be upfront if anything changes.
• I clean up after myself. You’d be surprised how many people mention this—but yes, I do!
• You get a piece you’re proud of. Something built with care, that lasts, and that feels like it belongs in your home or space.

Who I Work With

• Homeowners who want something special, functional, and made just for them.
• Small businesses who need smart, well-built features for their space.
• Designers and architects looking for someone who can bring their ideas to life with hands-on skill.

GrainWorks – One Man, One Workshop, One Project at a Time

For me, it’s never just about cutting wood or fitting shelves. It’s about creating something honest, useful, and made to last. Something that fits your space—and your life.

So if you’re looking for custom woodwork built with care and character, drop me a line. I’d love to hear what you’re working on and see how I can help.

Let’s build something great—together.
