Every memorial bench we’ve ever made is shown in the gallery above — owls, tigers, kingfishers, unicorns, dogs, deer, cars, fish, moons, hearts, rugby roses, superhero lightning bolts. The full breadth of what it means to make furniture that belongs to someone specific.
The process is the same for every commission: we ask who the bench is for, what carving feels right, where it will go, what the inscription should say. Then our carver draws it up — sometimes on the first try, sometimes through several rounds until it’s exactly right — and we share the design with you before anything goes into the timber. Schools, families, community groups and councils have all commissioned through this page. The benches go into parks, riverside gardens, churchyards, school playgrounds, beaches and village greens. Some are for people. Some are for animals. Some are for places — a century-old orchard, a Welsh coastal lighthouse, a school where a cat once lived. All of them are particular.
All benches are made from solid oak and finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for year-round outdoor resilience. Schools can order on a purchase order; we’ll invoice once confirmed. Prices include VAT.
