About The Dancing Woodman
I (Aaron) started The Dancing Woodman in the beginning of 2018 as I really wanted a rustic TV unit and thought I could have a go at making one myself. Armed with just a Black and Decker palm sander at the time I set about the task! I really enjoyed making it and after the posting it on my own social media and receiving a lot of positive comments, I thought I would make more things, and it progressed from there…
I initially started this as a hobby alongside full time work, a 12 year career in retail management. Making things in my garden shed when I had the time! The passion for this got the better of me, so I decided to take the jump and do this full time as a career from March 2020. The combination of making things and running my own business really ignited a fire within me!
This was the start of the covid pandemic and during this time the business took off at a great pace, with me having to move out of my first workshop within 3 months, and have some helpers to support.
I’ve been incredibly grateful that since then the business has continued to grow, and we regularly ship all over the UK and internationally including the US. Our current workshop is located in Curbridge, just outside of Southampton, UK.
We handcraft a variety of pieces ranging from desks, doors, tables, benches, coffee tables to small items such as bath caddies and trays. We make unique custom pieces too and specialise in rustic pieces from materials that are reclaimed and locally sourced. We like to ensure that each item of furniture that we make is as individual as the next and no two pieces are the same, so each piece is unique.
Please message us for bespoke, made to measure items that you would like. We’re always looking for a new challenge so if you have an idea that you would like me to make then please feel free to contact.
The time we need to prepare an order for shipping varies. For details, see individual item or contact us.
