Prenntek Designs workshop
Using contrasting woods, mixing dark and light, gives a pleasing effect
Our workshop is based at our home in West Cornwall.
We use traditional cabinet making skills to lovingly construct our boxes. Every box is individually designed and hand made and takes many hours in our workshop to produce.
A small band saw is used
The mitre joints at the corners are
all keyed to give strength
The scraping is done with a
traditional
cabinet making scrape
The sanding is all done by hand,
I usually
use
100 grit, going down
to
150 grit fine paper
All joints on any drawers are
traditional
hand cut dovetails
The lids are hinged with solid brass butt hinges
and brass slotted crews. Note all screw slots
run parallel with the grain
No stains or artificial colours are used.
Each product has
at least two coats of Danish Oil,
a light sanding
with flour paper
between coats,
then two applications
of beeswax
