The workshop
The home of our business, where all pieces of furniture, kitchens and wardrobes are made. The workshop based in Cheshire is where the ideas come to life.
Why not come and visit and get an idea for yourself?
The home of Sutherland's Cabinets.
The location where the journey starts to bring your idea to life.
The cab room
The main cab room is where the detail of the first markings are set. The tried and tested methods of handmade cabinetry begins here, using techniques which have been used over centuries. This is where you will find mortise and tenons, to dovetail joints, beaming into life. The room is always open to visit, by appointment only, to get a sense of true craftmanship at the heart of Cheshire.
The shop floor
A busy environment where you will find plenty of modern but also classic machinery to help in the process of creating bespoke cabinetry and furniture. From the initial cutting down of the timber, to plane and edging to reach a point where the wood is flat and smooth. The wood is then ready to enter the cab room to begin the next step of the journey.
​
You will also find other machinery such as the panel saw which has a range of blades to cut down large pieces of timber or to precisely cut down sizes of boards into smaller shapes, ready to be added to the interior of the framed cabinetry.
​
Within the main section of the workshop you will of course find benches where frames are put together or plans are revisited.
The wood store
The drying room where our wood is carefully stored to dry to the right temperature before entering your home. Sometimes wood can be stored for months beforehand to gain the right moisture levels before being touched. This helps the timber to get to a level of around 8-10% moisture content, which is in and around the perfect percentage to be fitted into your home.
Do not forget timber is a living and breathing life form and always moves, taking in and out moisture. This is why we find it such a beautiful element to work with to create something so unique for your home, which should be taken with care.
The spray shop
The spray room is a key element in our craftsmanship. The final touches to a piece of furniture or the finish to your kitchen cabinets will be made here. Within this room colour comes to life and detail is added with patience and care.
