About WoodScott

WoodScott Joinery is based in Axminster, Devon. At the heart of our business, is a desire to create beautiful handmade products using only the finest, locally-sourced timber.

We are a close-knit team of four: Scott, the director; Claire, office manager (husband and wife); Darren, our traditional joinery of 30 years; and Tom, our bespoke joiner, CNC machinist and CAD designer. Recently we have invited Kai to join us as our first apprentice. We are proud to be a local business that serves our community and the surrounding areas.

We love all the aspects of wood and enjoy designing and bringing to life our customer’s visions, ideas, and dreams in our extensive workshop.
