About The Goodwood Cellars:
"I started the Goodwood Cellars some eight years ago because I felt that it was
morally wrong to deforest our environment when tons and tons of superb timber was being
burnt as waste on demolition sites across the country. The timbers that were being burnt
were also steeped in history carrying the scars of their life with them...
 ...Old floor boards, roof timbers even old ship timbers, the variety is vast.
The many different varieties of timber too that you simply don't find in a modern timber
yard...
...Timber felled hundreds of years ago before the emergence of the fast growing soft woods
used by today's builders...
...Timbers sawn from trees that took many many years to mature to vast proud examples of
their species rather than vast rows of uniform genetically selected trees that are found
in the modern managed forests of today.
Over the years we have developed ways of incorporating the features of these old timbers
into our furniture designs which have become popular for their enduring strength and
uniqueness.
We produce a range of our own designs of beds, tables, chairs, fire surrounds, mirrors ,
boxes, chests , etc. We also handcraft bespoke items tailor made to our customers
requirements.
We do not work only in pine, but also in most hardwoods including Oak, Elm, Ash and Beech.
We are a small company. We pride ourselves on customer service and we are happy to show
visitors around our workshop here on the quay at Exeter, where all our furniture is made.
No cheap imports, just good down to earth, solid furniture, made by us in Exeter, Devon,
England."
