Philip Bastow Cabinet Makers

A time served cabinet maker with more than 40 years experience, Philip Bastow specialises in the design and craft of bespoke commissions using beautiful British hardwoods (whenever possible). Philip is a true craftsman, taking great pride in every furniture project and following the ethos that a true artist doesn't make the wood into an object but sets the object free from inside of the wood. Philip Bastow is dedicated to creating bespoke furniture designed to your exact specifications and lovingly hand crafted to the very highest standards.

Philip Bastow Cabinet Maker has more than 40 years experience crafting beautiful furniture from wood and has developed an excellent reputation. Creating bespoke hardwood furniture for your home or office, Philip is one of the lucky few with a talent for working with his hands, setting free the inner tree in order to provide you with unique, fine furniture. The key to Philip's designs is the care taken to accentuate the natural curves and burrs of the wood, working with the wood's natural grain and colour to maintain its innate beauty.

Display cabinet in American cherry, with carved images to the door panels, the carved scenes inspired by the customer's garden. Examples of the smaller commissions recently completed, and look forward to doing more of in my current temporary set up. Recent images added are: CD cabinet in American Cherry and a glass display cabinet in Oak for a cricketing trophy. Getting settled into new place, July to December was spent removing 20 years of overgrown shrubs and clearing an old small copse of dead and dangerous trees, this also to make room for the proposed workshop.
