At our Norfolk workshops, drawing on designs mainly from the 17th & 18th centuries, we construct solid oak and fruitwood furniture and traditional wall panelling & staircases employing traditional methods and time honoured skills. Everything from the solid timber - hand planed oak and fruitwood, the skilfully hand cut dovetails, painstaking finishing and waxing, right through to the fitting of locally cast period brassware goes towards creating an uncompromising finished product.www.bylaw.co.ukNorwich Rd Lenwade, NR9 5SH
