Colwill

Our Story

At Colwill and Co, we are committed to creating beautiful furniture that not only showcases the unique characteristics of each individual tree, but also contributes to the betterment of our environment and society. Our journey began with a passion for working with nature's natural wonders, and we have since evolved into a Social Enterprise, with a primary objective beyond profit.

Mobile Sawmilling

Our mobile sawmilling service is designed to make it economically viable to produce usable timber from trees in gardens and small woods by milling them on-site using handheld equipment. This approach not only ensures that the value of the tree is maximized, but also allows us to take pride in our work, knowing that every tree that goes into our furniture has been carefully selected and milled with care.

Custom & Bespoke

We take pride in our track record of providing bespoke furniture to a long list of satisfied customers who have trusted us to deliver a wide variety of fitted and standalone projects. With over thirty years of experience in design, we bring a unique balance of practicality and creative aesthetics to our furniture, ensuring that every piece is both functional and beautiful.

Services

Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each customer, whether it's milling timber on-site, guiding you through the drying process, or undertaking the entire process ourselves. We believe in treating every tree with respect and care, from planting to harvesting, and ensure that our processes are sustainable and environmentally responsible.

From the initial tree selection to the finished product, we take pride in every step of the process, ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality furniture that not only reflects their unique tastes but also supports a greater good. Whether you're looking for a customized piece of furniture or simply want to make the most of your tree's potential, we're here to help.

Our Philosophy

Our design philosophy is rooted in the principles of simplicity, sustainability, and the preservation of the natural beauty of each tree. We believe that good design relies upon good details, from hand-formed edge bevels to brass screws and hand-cut nails. Each piece of furniture is crafted with care, taking into account the unique characteristics of the tree, its history, and its natural form.

What We Offer

At Colwill and Co, we offer a range of services tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences. From mobile sawmilling to custom and bespoke furniture making, we take pride in our ability to transform natural beauty into functional works of art that will be treasured for generations to come.

The Future

As a Social Enterprise, we are committed to contributing to an increase in the tree population of the UK that has social and environmental benefits, nationally and globally, for our generation and for generations to come. We believe that the future of our planet depends on our collective efforts to preserve and protect our natural resources, and we are dedicated to playing our part in making a positive impact.
