A real craftsman
Freddie is a real craftsman who can turn his hand to anything crafted from wood. Replies quickly to any enquiries and adds personal touches to his work to make each piece personal to you. I highly recommend Oak and Black for high quality individual gifts or beautiful pieces for your own home.

Bespoke Keepsakes
I met Freddie on the Oak and Black stand at the Game Fair in Scone last month. We discussed a project to make something unique that I could give to friends and family. After a few days a design was made and I was involved in making a couple of alterations. I now have some treasured keepsakes to share with my loved ones thanks to Oak and Black
