Where It Started
Nash & Skeels Handmade started naturally from our construction and carpentry work. Through jobs such as custom fireplace surrounds, fitted pieces and bespoke timber work, we found ourselves drawn more and more towards the finer side of making.
Carpentry had always been part of the business, but those detailed projects made us realise just how much we enjoyed working with wood — not just as a building material, but as something that could become a finished piece for someone’s home.
That is where the handmade side began: taking the care, accuracy and problem solving from construction, and applying it to smaller wooden products that people can use, gift and enjoy every day.
Made Properly, Not Mass Produced
Local & Handmade
Each piece is made in small batches with care, patience and attention to the details that make handmade work feel special.
Real Timber Character
We work with hardwoods such as oak, walnut and mixed timbers, allowing the natural grain, colour and character of the wood to lead the design.
Useful Everyday Pieces
Our products are designed to be used, not just displayed — practical wooden gifts and homeware made for real homes.
Care in Every Stage
Whether we are making a chopping board, a serving board, a clock, a personalised gift or a bespoke piece, the process matters. Timber is chosen for its look and suitability, then cut, shaped, sanded and finished with care.
We like products that feel honest: visible grain, useful shapes, solid materials and finishes that suit everyday use. The aim is simple — to make wooden pieces that feel warm, personal and built to last.
