We are committed to using sustainably sourced hardwoods and decorative hardwood veneers sourced locally from Ripon and from our specialist contacts across the UK. Wherever possible, we partner with other local craftsmen and women such as upholsterers, blacksmiths, polishers and glaziers.

At Hand and Machine we are addicted to detail; every piece that leaves the workshop has been lavished with time and attention from start to finish, and is a unique as the person its made for.
