Hi all,

Any recommendations for oak furniture suppliers? Looking for some fairly
contemporary (read not frilly) bits of furniture in oak - a bed,
wardrobe etc. Found lots online, but a recommendation would be nice.


TIA

It's OK if you want to make a fence, but it's hardly furniture widths,
is it ?

You'd also need a Woodmizer or something to resaw them down into
thicknessable boards, then you're looking at jointing up from no more
than 4" wide.

It's a nice deal if you want a lot of small table legs, but not much
use as flats.

They claim that they will try to bias a pack toward the dimensions that
you want... however there is obviously going to be plenty of unusable
stuff.

Could be also handy for producing mouldings, edgings etc.

We've just recently taken delivery of a large "farmhouse styley" dining
room table & chairs made from (distressed+reclaimed) French Oak (made
in France). We bought it from John Lewis after many moons of searching
for the right thing. Not sure what else they have in the range though.

Have a look at Hudson's of York

http://www.hudsonsofyork.com/home.htm

I've never bought anything (we don't buy furniture) but I pass the large
showroom often and they have some very attractive things in the window.

We bought an oak dining table, chairs and a mirror from these suppliers
http://www.pdglobal.co.uk/. I think you have to go through a retailer
to buy but you can contact them to find a local supplier. Our stuff was
from the cotswold range. It certainly wasn't cheap but is excellent
quality and will hopefully last a very long time.

Hope this helps...

Well, for real quality there's always http://www.robertthompsons.co.uk/

Looking at some of the other posts I know that I could get you handmade
furniture to your design for much less that you would pay for mass
manufactured. I dont personally make it as I only do handmade kitchens,
but I do often buy from another local cabinet maker who is geared uo
for this sort of thing. As an example, a 5ft wide dresser would be in
the region of £2.5k. You can get very nice furniture a lot cheaper,
but if you r considering some of the other replies the please consider
this too. Give me a call is you want.

A cabinet-maker son in law makes bespoke furniture for less than Mousie but
with the same very high quality.
