Our work
What we do
Ochre & Wood specialises in designing and making bespoke furniture - anything from a small coffee table to a full kitchen.
We also undertake restoration and repair work, giving your cherished pieces a renewed lease of life.
We would love to hear from you so please contact us to discuss a new commission or refurbishing your own furniture
How we work
We work mainly to commission, producing one off pieces based around our clients’ own ideas. We endeavour to work with Scottish sourced hardwoods – most often trees that have succumbed to Scotland’s harsh blasts of weather. We are happy however to work in wood from around the world where required. Click on the link to look at our selection of work.
Meet the maker
Mike has a life-long passion for working with wood and is a graduate of the Chippendale International School of Furniture. His patience and eye for detail are evident in the design of his furniture which is meticulously thought through and built to last for many years to come.
When he can prise himself out of the workshop, his other passions are music – he plays the trombone, sailing – whatever is available and floats, and skiing – whenever the Scottish winter is kind enough to provide snow without a howling gale!
Mike’s love of the Scottish landscape, heritage and community is reflected in his unique designs, crafting methods and attention to detail.
Bring your dream to life
When you decide to commission a piece, we will arrange meetings firstly to discuss your ideas and then to go through our sketch designs and a price quote for your approval. Before commencing work, we ask for a deposit, normally 50% of the agreed price, with the balance being payable on delivery.
What people say…
"I commissioned Ochre & Wood to design and craft a kitchen table, benches and carvers. The whole experience was positive, particularly choosing the wood, discussing and selecting the designs and finally, taking delivery of wonderful products which are even better than I could have imagined. I can strongly recommend Ochre & Wood."
Bobby Anderson, Aberdeen
"We are delighted with the bookcase you made for our daughter. It is an ideal 21st birthday present which she will treasure for life. As well as being versatile, I had no idea it would be possible to introduce such an interesting design style to an otherwise "simple" piece of furniture. Well done!"
Christine Tacon, Macclesfield
"We are delighted with our new display unit which is exactly what we wanted. The Scottish Oak is beautiful and your craftsmanship and attention to detail is absolutely amazing. It looks like the unit has been in its place for ever and actually makes the room look wider. Beautiful job - well done! We will have no hesitation in recommending your work to anyone."
Mr & Mrs Donald, Aberdeen
