Design & Craftsmanship

Traditional skills and tools still have pride of place in Hallidays Oxfordshire workshopUsing traditional techniques and finely detailed hand drawings, we have maintained the highest levels of design and craftsmanship throughout the years. Most of our work is done by hand, from setting out each project in rods to the hand planing and meticulous sanding down to smooth surfaces, finishing with hand-painted, stained and waxed finishes.
