It’s an area that transfixes and we can’t help but be inspired by these surroundings.
The Yorkshire Dales includes some of the finest limestone scenery in the UK, from crags and pavements to underground labyrinths of caves.

Stone-built villages sit amongst traditional farming landscapes of field barns, drystone walls and flower-rich hay meadows, and show how the area has been shaped over thousands of years by the people who have lived and worked here.

Focussed attention. Attention to detail.

It is perhaps our beautiful environment that helps us at Born of Wood focus our attention and give us standout in our bespoke furniture creations. We find ourselves naturally drawn to the patterns, colours and contrasts present in nature – and find that these will often find their way into our work both consciously and simply as an unconscious act as the nature on our doorstep inspires us without us even realising.

Natural materials. Beautiful creations.

The uniqueness of each piece of wood we work and the natural materials we use lend themselves to the creation of a living piece of furniture. Furniture with life and spirit.
Whether your custom made furniture demands the perfection found in nature, or the unique and messy chaos of untamed wood grain – our access to the finest natural sources for the materials we use allow us a mastery of all that nature blesses us with.

Let’s create a natural wonder for you

From the minute we are contacted by a potential customer we work as closely as possible with them to ensure that what we create for them feels very much their own creation – the customer injecting their own passion, enthusiasm and soul into their Born of Wood creation. If you’d like a new addition to your home, to meet your unique requirements and designed to complement your uniquely styled home, please do get in touch.

Operating as a custom handmade furniture manufacturer since 1998, Born of Wood (formerly known as Stump Furniture) had gained a growing reputation for AV furniture, specifically amongst the active and passionate community on AV forums.

With repeated happy customers and a clear demand for custom fitted AV furniture, it was a natural evolution for Born of Wood to appoint a dedicated team to the creation of bespoke AV units. With a genuine passion for delivering the very best AV furniture designs to meet customer’s specific requirements – the name AV Soul felt a natural choice for this new focused venture.

5 star reviews

“We couldn’t have been more impressed with Stuart for the design and the team for the build and installation. Our bedroom and bathroom were transformed by the beautiful furniture created for us and we were thrilled with the unexpected usable space. Kitchen project is next!”
Sarah Pressley – 5* Houzz review (view on Houzz)

“Stuart designed, created and fitted a tailor-made wardrobe for our main bedroom. He also designed and created a stylish and very practical CD cabinet for us. An extremely creative and talented craftsman, he listened carefully to our ideas and made very helpful and suitable suggestions regarding the design and materials. A perfectionist, he was very keen to produce work of a high standard, always bearing in mind our budget. He was flexible, adaptable and approachable when creating the designs to our requirements. We would certainly recommend Stuart for anyone looking for an individualised, unique piece of furniture, tailored to a specific budget.”
Dawn Leggott – 5* Houzz review (view on Houzz)

“13 years ago Stuart made me a really cool unit for my decks and vinyl. In April 2018, three houses later, he just made us some really nice built in wardrobes for our kids’ bedrooms. In between, he has made us tables, cabinets, a kitchen, shelves and much more. It’s always been a pleasure having Stuart and his team around, and not only does he have a great eye for design but he also has a really high quality threshold. We know that we’ll get a brilliant job, properly done. We can’t recommend Stuart and his team highly enough.”
Julian Wells – 5* Facebook review (view on facebook)

“Born of Wood made a bespoke WiFi media cabinet for my equipment!
Excellent quality workmanship and good customer liaison. Would highly recommend!”
Steve Hollingsworth – 5* Facebook review (view on facebook)

“We absolutely love our table made by Stuart. We were very impressed by his passion and care for the products he makes. He took lots of time getting the colour right to our specifications. If only all companies were like this! No hesitation in recommending Stuart and his staff.”

The post A five star start for Born of Wood. Love for our furniture creations. appeared first on Born of Wood.

Set up by Stuart Whewell in 1998 as a furniture manufacturer specialising in the use of reclaimed woods, Stuart admits that the business has been grown and shaped by the economic climate and ever changing customer demands.

“We’ve grown from a business that specialised in using reclaimed woods, to one that is much more about creating furniture to meet our customer’s unique requirements and tastes – whatever wood or material, whatever style. As the business has matured, we’ve evolved and grown to be increasingly connected to our customers. We really take the time to understand them, the role the piece of furniture will play in their home; the role the piece of furniture will play in their life. I came to the conclusion that the business had grown up and outgrown our name. We wanted something that better reflected the nature of our business in 2018, twenty years on from when I started the business!”

Over its 20 years of operation, Stump Furniture has gained an impressive reputation for creating all manner of furniture as well as interiors and handmade fitted kitchens with 5 star reviews aplenty across their various social media channels. Over this period of time, what began to stand out was the customer’s reaction to seeing their ideas come to life and this has been the inspiration for the new name.

“Much of the joy we gain in our business is from the relationships that we develop with our customers through the way we collaborate on their design ideas. The result is always a piece of furniture or kitchen that the customer feels they truly helped create and gave birth to. Our customers genuinely love the finished pieces and the items become a treasured part of their family.”

In today’s world of mass consumerism Born of Wood offers a real tonic – the opportunity to possess a unique item the customer has helped create and given birth to, and one that exudes the love and attention that has been imbued upon it by all those involved in its creation, from the customer themselves, through to Born of Wood’s master craftsmen, through to their dedicated delivery driver!

It is perhaps no surprise that Stuart seems the proud Father of his matured business. “It is our aim to create a piece of furniture that is the perfect fit for our customer’s requirements. Born of Wood represents the perfect fitting name for us to communicate the nature and quality of our offer and the joy our customers can experience from the birth of their creation.”
