Welcome
Why Wood?
We are designers and makers of oak joinery and furniture, working to commission.
Chas Crocker has been working with Oak for thirty years. Kim Crocker has grown up around oak workshops and worked for a furniture designer/maker in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. He has now come back south to form Crockers Joinery.
We work in temperate hardwoods, although oak is our preferred material as it fulfils all our requirements. It is beautiful, durable and grows abundantly in our temperate climate. Our ancestors have used oak for shelter and furniture for millennia. By sourcing it from managed forests it is environmentally friendly and provides employment in rural areas. The forests in France have been managed for over six centuries to provide this continuity of supply.
