Here’s what Paul says about his maker showcase:

This exhibition is a celebration of the craftsmanship and artistry of my woodworking business, PJW WoodWorks. With over 25 years of dedicated experience, my expertise and meticulous attention to detail are evident in every handcrafted piece on display, showcasing beautiful, high quality furniture and homewares.

The exhibition features a collection of my bespoke furniture, cabinetry, and wood-turned objects, each one a testament to my vision of producing distinct, made-to-order pieces that reflect my integrity and love for sustainably-sourced hardwoods and sustainable design. Whether commissioned out of necessity or a desire for something extraordinary, every item is a labour of love, tailored to the client's specific needs and preferences.

At the core of my philosophy and this showcase is a deep commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact. My workshop prioritises the use of certified, locally sourced British hardwoods, reclaimed timber, and materials from sustainable forestry practices, ensuring that each creation captivates with its beauty while contributing to a greener future. It is a testament to the enduring quality, sustainability, and distinct vision that PJW WoodWorks represents.

Combining traditional woodworking techniques with modern technologies, I meticulously craft furniture and homewares that are not only aesthetically stunning but also exceptionally comfortable and durable. From the initial design consultation to the final finishing touches, every step is undertaken with utmost care, resulting in heirloom-quality pieces.
