We’re still under construction here so please check back for more items and updates!
We hand make a wide range of items from furniture, storage and lighting, to picture frames, small gifts, jewellery and trinkets. We also repair and restore furniture, clocks, antiques, collectables & toys. Here you’ll find a some examples of our own creations and restorations.
If you have a requirement or an idea for something you’d like us to design and make, or a cherished item in need of TLC, then please do get in touch!
We’ve covered our vinyl record storage drawers elsewhere on the site, but it’s worth saying that these have also been used to create bedroom & office desk drawers and numerous other storage solutions. The advantage here is that our modular drawer system can be utilised in almost any situation with a wide range of uses.
Benches, tables and stools are always popular, and we make them to order to customers specifications. They can be constructed from a wide range of timbers, or combined with glass tops. We try to use recycled timber, usually European Spruce, Oak or Mahogany, but other timbers are always in stock, from Walnut to Olive, so please get in touch here if you have an idea for a creation. We’ll listen to your ideas, and translate that into hand drawn images and dimensions so that we can work with you to develop your idea from paper to reality.
Lamps and lighting are something of a passion here. We always have a significant stock of antique, vintage and industrial lamps, shades & related. We also design and make our own lamps, along side unique bespoke designs for customers. All our lamps are supplied PAT tested by a local independant technician. Our hand made lamps can be constructed from a wide range of materials & parts brought together to create a truly individual piece.
Jewellery trays, desk tidy’s, key bowls, use them for anything. The ones here are hand made by laminating a variety of timbers - Scotts pine, Poplar, Yew, Ash, Hornbeam, Olive, Mahogany and many more can all feature.
They are aproximately 20cm x 30cm, and 5cm deep. No two are the same, each has it’s own unique character, colours and texture.
Here at jc23, we try to use every part of the materials we’re fortunate enough to find in a creative way. Every off cut is kept because it’ll find a home in something sooner or later!

Restorations - This is a beautifully made mid-century bureau by notable furniture maker, the late Peter Harris of Northampton.
Hand made from wonderful figured Oak, it had sadly been consigned to a shed for many years where it had been attacked by pin worm and damp.
Well, we couldn’t let that stop it living on could we! Now it’s gleaming again, with newly made Mahogany handles, ready to serve for many years to come.
