Sablewood Kitchens - Furniture maker

Hand-cut carcasses in solid ash and walnut, made in one workshop and fitted by the people who made them.

11 weeks

Workshop to fitted, quoted before you commit

Every carcass is dovetailed, not stapled. You can see the joint before it goes to the wall.

The specification

The same build, whichever timber you choose.

Nothing below is an upgrade path. The construction is fixed and published, and the choices you make are about species and finish rather than about how well it is put together.

Carcass
18mm birch ply, dovetailed corners
Doors and frames
Solid ash, oak or walnut
Worktop
Timber, stone or laminate, your supplier or ours
Hinges and runners
Soft-close, replaceable, standard sizes
Finish
Hardwax oil, three coats, sanded between
Fitting
By the bench joiner who built it
  • Material

    Solid timber, no veneered chipboard

    Carcasses in 18mm birch ply, doors and frames in solid ash, oak or walnut. The species is your choice and the price does not move with it.

    01

  • Method

    Cut, dry-fitted, then finished

    Every run is dry-assembled in the workshop and photographed before finishing, so nothing arrives at your house for the first time on fitting day.

    02

  • Fitting

    The maker fits it

    The bench joiner who built your run is the person who installs it. There is no subcontracted fitting team and no handover to lose things in.

    03

Workshop

Two bench joiners, one spray room and a stack of air-dried boards that has been sitting there longer than the business has existed. Visits are on Thursdays because that is when there is somebody free to talk rather than because it is a showroom.

Come and see a carcass before you order one.

Sablewood Kitchens

Come and see a carcass before you order one.

The workshop is open on Thursdays. Bring your measurements, or bring nothing at all.

That is where the demonstration ends. Sablewood Kitchens is invented, so the buttons above lead here rather than anywhere. These two do work.

What you are looking at

Technique
Masked text reveal
Why here
The page spends its whole personality in the first second and then goes quiet, so the entrance has to carry it. Lines rise out of a clip mask with opacity untouched, which is the only entrance that can run on the largest element on the page without deferring the paint that pays for it.
With animation off
The headline, the figure and the button are all in their final positions on the first frame. There was never a hidden state to restore.
  • overflow: clip masks
  • time-based cascade
  • staggered animation-delay

Demonstration page. The business is invented, the words are sample copy, and this is not work done for a client. Sablewood Kitchens does not exist. Built by Meridian to show one technique working, and to show what it does when nothing is allowed to move.
