Rob Elliot has seized the opportunity to fulfil a dream. Since 1987, he has built on the experience of three generations of woodworkers to design furniture using only locally grown timber.
Bringing his inherent skills to the natural beauty of the wood, Rob Elliot has succeeded in producing furniture to be treasured; furniture sought out by householder and connoisseur alike. It is difficult to stand beside a piece of Rob Elliot's warm, inviting furniture and not touch it!
Rob's 'Conception Cabinet', was judged "Most Popular Work of 1999", in the prestigious "Visual Arts Scotland" exhibition at The Royal Scottish Academy and is only one piece of a unique range, which reaches from child's chair to Boardroom Table.
Rob Elliot works exclusively in Elm, mainly Wych Elm, and makes a point of using only trees that have died naturally, ensuring no living trees are felled to make this richly patterned, handcrafted furniture.
These two pieces were commissioned by customers with a very clear idea of what they wanted. Although the design was almost completely theirs Rob’s skill as a maker was needed to select the right pieces of wood for the job, work out the details of the construction and of course complete the work to the highest possible standard.
