Bespoke Handcrafted Joinery York
At Waxwing, we understand the most beautiful joinery is the joinery that is made for one place and made by hand. Our bespoke and handcrafted joinery service brings together careful design, traditional workshop methods and a deep respect for creating pieces that fit your home as if they had always belonged there.
We can help whether the brief is a fitted kitchen, a set of alcove cabinets, a staircase or a single piece of made-to-measure furniture, each commission is designed, drawn and handcrafted from scratch in our workshop.
Bespoke handcrafted joinery made by hand
Every commission begins with the room. We measure, photograph and listen to how you use the space, where the light falls, how the joinery should sit alongside the original detail of the building. From there we draw, prototype and refine until the piece is right on paper before a single piece of timber is cut.

Designed for everyday living in York
Beautiful joinery should also be useful joinery. A wardrobe should hold what you wear, a kitchen should work the way you cook, a staircase should feel sure underfoot.
We think carefully about how every piece will be used. The outcome is handcrafted joinery designed to enhance the way you live, while maintaining the calm, considered aesthetic Waxwing is known for.
