Bespoke Woodwork · Seaford, East Sussex
Handcrafted wood furniture, made the slow way.
The Woodworking Branch Ltd is a small, family-run workshop building solid wood furniture and rustic pieces to order — from single commissions to made-to-measure furniture for your home.
Who We Are
From bamboo & rustic goods to bespoke woodwork.
Started in 2017 in Seaford, our workshop began with simple rustic-style pieces and has grown into a dedicated woodworking practice. Today the business is run by Michelle Downing, working with a small network of skilled local subcontractors on every commission.
Every piece is built to order, using solid timber and joinery techniques rather than mass production — so what you get is a piece made specifically for your space.
