Crafting Excellence: Custom Tables and Handmade Homeware in Duns, The Scottish Borders.

Welcome to The Retuned Wood Co., where the artistry of custom-made furniture meets the sustainability of reclaimed wood. As a proud artisan based in Duns, we are passionate about crafting unique furniture and homeware that tell a story. In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of custom tables, reclaimed wood, and handmade furniture while sharing valuable insights about our craft.

  1. The Beauty of Custom Tables: Custom tables are more than just pieces of furniture; they're expressions of your individual style and taste. At The Retuned Wood Co., we understand that every space is unique. Whether it's a dining table, coffee table, or side table, our custom designs are tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Tables are great opportunity to go bold with design whilst retaining practicality with choices such as additional storage, hidden compartments, size and shape to suit your lifestyle.

  2. The Charm of Reclaimed Wood: Reclaimed wood carries a history of its own, imbuing your furniture with character and sustainability. Our commitment to using reclaimed wood not only adds a unique touch to each piece but also contributes to environmental conservation. Discuss the benefits of reclaimed wood, such as durability, uniqueness, and eco-friendliness. One of the favourite features to our customers is hearing the history behind the wood. It could be from a 500 year old bank's handrail, scraps from a guitar company or a beam from the oldest mill in Yorkshire. If a piece of timber has held up so well to the point we get our hands on it, there's no questioning it's durability and sustainability! Not only will you have a unique piece of bespoke furniture to show your friends, you'll have a story behind the wood to tell them too.

  3. The Art of Handmade Furniture: Handmade furniture stands out in a world of mass production. Our bespoke pieces are handcrafted with precision and care, ensuring the highest quality. Every piece has been precisely measured, sawn, planed, sanded and finished to the highest quality possible. Every tool leaves its own mark to become a well thought out feature of the furniture. We don't simply grab a pile of scrap wood and knock a table together! We carefully select which specific board and species of timber will be both durable and eye catching enough to make a functional, beautiful piece of furniture to elevate our customer's home. We are dedicated to hand crafted excellence.

  4. Custom Order Homeware: In addition to custom tables, we offer a range of homeware products tailored to your preferences. This includes items like jewellery boxes, lamps, shelves, plant stands and kitchenware. We provide the versatility of custom orders and the ability to create a cohesive aesthetic in your customers' homes. Maybe you've just ordered a custom coffee table, wouldn't it be great to have a matching set of coasters?

  5. Our Home Base: We are proudly based in Ellemford, Duns but provide services far beyond The Scottish Borders. Our reclaimed wood is sourced from all over The UK from guitar companies in York, to demolished buildings in Edinburgh. From our humble beginnings of selling homeware at craft fairs to our recent growth, the people of the North have always been welcoming and supportive. It's amazing to see so many people be fascinated by the stories behind our timber and mesmerised by the quality of our work. This community's support has helped us grow and send custom homeware across the UK and even as far as Australia!

At The Retuned Wood Co., our passion for crafting custom tables, bespoke furniture and handmade homeware from reclaimed wood drives us to create pieces of enduring beauty. With a focus on individuality, sustainability, and the art of handmade furniture, we invite you to explore our creations and join us in appreciating the value of craftsmanship. Whether you're in Scotland, England, Ireland or anywhere else, our unique pieces are sure to find a special place in your heart and your home.
