From Carpenter to Bespoke Furniture Maker

Ross Norgate is a young ambitious furniture maker who came to us as a fully skilled joiner and carpenter. His objective was to expand his skills and make more delicate and complicated furniture than his joinery skills allowed him.  Ross’s determined and dedicated attitude throughout his year here has resulted in him making some beautiful pieces of furniture.
