The Best Carpenters in Liss, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Delighted with the three shaker wardrobe doors Ian has made, to fit into a bedroom alcove. He is a skilled craftsman and has great attention to detail, and it looks wonderful. He came exactly as he planned. Great value for money...and he even adjusted the price as it took less time than expected. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with him!

I wish I could give 10 stars. I commissioned Colin to make a wooden urn for my Dad after he passed suddenly and unexpectedly last year. After a few zoom consultations and emails back and forth, Colin took my ideas and vision, inputed in own and created a beautiful urn just as I had imagined. Made in English walnut, it has a bespoke handmade solid brass cross on the front, with my Dads initials hand carved underneath and a bespoke brass nameplate on the back. The final piece truly special and fit for my Dads last resting place. I cannot recommend Colin's expertise and skills enough. He is a true craftsman who cares about the story, the intent and the final outcome. Colin has so many beautiful items - (other than urns!) in his online shop too, and I'm sure I'll be purchasing some of the chopping boards in the near future. I've chosen not to share a photo of the piece here since my Dad's ashes are now inside, though I believe Colin should have photos on his website. Otherwise, you'll have to take my word at how beautiful the piece is! Thank you Colin for making something so special with such care and respect.

I spent yesterday with Colin and it was a fantastic day. I am a complete novice. I bought a lathe but wanted some basic skills to help me in my new hobby. I specifically wanted to learn to turn bowls and Colin tailored the day to my request, which was great. Colin has a huge amount of experience and he taught me things you can’t get from Youtube. Sometimes it was a subtle shift in the height of my elbow or turning the end of the bowl gouge 1mm made all the difference. The end result of the day was a lovely Ash Bowl Thanks Colin, no doubt I will see you at an event or another course in the future Mike

Fantastic half day workshop lesson with Colin. This was primarily for my teenage son who saw Colin's work at Wisley Craft Fair and wanted to learn more. I attended as well. Colin's professionalism and care and love of this craft was obvious in the preparation for the day (agreeing what was achievable and most enjoyable to make in four hours) and on the day itself. He has a brilliant calm approach to teaching and we were hands on very quickly learning different techniques and giving it a go. Everytime we thought we had messed something up Colin showed us how to fix it and was very positive and encouraging throughout. The time flew by. Thank you Colin, an inspiring session.

My wife was so kind to buy me a wood turning course for my birthday, which was a 1 day course with Colin. Colin is a really nice man and great teacher, clearly knows his craft. The day was really enjoyable and I learnt a great deal from Colin's 35 years of experience! I went home with my first piece, a lovely Ash bowl! I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in learning the craft to attend his course.

I worked with Green Oak Carpentry recently to photograph a few of their projects. I also visited their workshops to watch the team at work and they were all very friendly and their work looked great. Very tidy workshops too - I'm impressed! Beautiful projects and Josh in the office has been great to work with. I look forward to our next shoot! ☺️

Right from our first meeting we knew we had made the right choice. It’s the details, with so much experience they know exactly what works and what doesn’t, it’s the real difference between, just a green oak frame and a beautifully design and crafted hand made living structure. Everyone and we mean everyone, who comes to our home just goes “WOW” this is stunning. Makes us soo proud. Thank you The Green Oak Carpentry Company, you are simply the best. Ian & Penny Croucher.
