clarke s in Hythe, Southampton, Hampshire

I first took to cabinet making as a well committed hobby over 20 years ago. It did not take long for me to fall in love with crafting timber and decided to follow it as a career. I then began work experience with a local cabinet maker. After leaving school I began an apprenticeship combined with a qualification in City Guilds Furniture design and construction for two years. A few years passed and I made the decision to begin self employment during 1997. My bespoke Kitchen furniture is hand made using jointed wooden frames and designed to fit into your kitchen spaces and where necessary to match existing finishes and styles. I have taken on a wide variety of commissions over the years which include cabinets, free standing and fitted furniture and joinery. My work has also included porches and even boat restoration. I am very committed to my job and am always delighted to discuss any type of custom made cabinets or furniture ideas or designs.
