Forge & Forest

"Fantastic guy who you can work with from design to finished article. I'd highly recommend this company and will be buying more items in the future!"

"We recently purchased one of Paul’s floor lamp designs. If a nicer lamp exists out there, I will be very surprised. When it comes to creativity and ability; Paul is an artisan of his trade. Nothing is too much trouble, and he will do anything he can to transform an idea into reality."

"We cannot get enough of Paul's wood and metalwork - and I'm sure my guests will agree. If everything is sold out on his website then I'm afraid it's my fault!"

"What a fab job... and a fab guy! Paul helped us work out how to create the supporting structure (as we were doing it ourselves) and the counter top that he produced is absolutely gorgeous and gets so many compliments!"

"I absolutely love my shelf from Forge & Forest, it goes perfectly with the country decor of my house. It feels very unique with the little heart cut-out and cast iron hooks."

"Beautiful handmade furniture. We love our coffee table and it always gets compliments. Highly recommended! "

"Forge & Forest have done a fantastic job! I'm very pleased with my beautiful shelves - they go perfectly in my bedroom. The wood that was used is great quality and solid and the colour is perfect."

"Paul is an excellent craftsman. He made a gorgeous Oak coat rack and two candle holders for me. I would have no hesitation in buying any of his pieces again."

"I asked Paul for something funky and unusual to display a beautiful ceramic I had been given. It needed to be heavy and stable. Paul came up with a fabulous idea, he designed a plinth from wood from St. Bees beach (not knowing that that was where I was brought up). It was perfect, full of character and quirky. He made sure the ceramic was sunk in the plinth and then pegged it to the wall to make it safe and secure. Extra service was bringing his own vacuum to clean up after himself. The sign of a caring professional."

"You don’t just get value for money from Paul, you get the absolute best from the best. *You will not be disappointed*"

"My goodness, those coat hooks you have made are quite incredible, I haven’t seen anything as good in all my years. Absolutely stunning wood and workmanship."

"Paul was extremely helpful and professional in knowing exactly what I wanted - I highly recommend him & will definitely be back!"

"I absolutely love it! It has transformed a dull corner into something delightful. Thank you for such incredible, beautiful bespoke pieces."

"We are absolutely delighted with Paul’s skill and artistic craftsmanship to produce such beautiful shelving and a mantelpiece for us. His use of natural wood and bespoke metalwork are pieces of art in themselves. Paul’s patience in ensuring that we were totally satisfied with the work from start to finish was overwhelming. "

"We came across Paul’s website a couple of years ago, looking for coat hooks. Before purchasing these, quality coat hooks were impossible to find. Not anymore! Since then, we have bought numerous items from Paul, who has designed and built everything from a concept. We are constantly amazed at the overall craftsmanship, precision and quality of Paul’s work."
