As an advocate of the circular economy, our workshop is in fact a recycled mobile doctor's surgery! It was in a poor state of repair when it arrived, but with a little hard work we rebuilt it into a fantastic humidity controlled workshop space. Wood being a hydroscopic material is always moving in service to balance with its environment.
With our own woodland on our doorstep, establishing a sawmill and kiln on site is a no brainer. It allows us to process our own timber for our Post and Beam Frames, Kitchens and furniture. We are also able to offer our sawmilling and drying facilities to local farmers, estate and home owners, adding value to local timber and the wider economy.
Kitchens are probably the most important room in the house with most days beginning and ending here. As such it should be both practical and beautiful, making it a pleasure to spend time and work in. The design process here at Dovetail is the most important aspect of creating a new kitchen. Good design starts with a conversation, whether an individual or architectural team.
