Ordered a wine rack crafted from English Oak based on photos from Crystal Woods' website. Llewie phoned me a couple of times to explain how it was made, how it would be packaged and shipped, and how to unbox it safely, supported by photos and videos. Really appreciated for something of this quality. The wine rack itself is a remarkable piece, clearly made by someone with years of experience who loves what he's doing. I'll have to up my wine game to do it justice. The biggest compliment I can give is that I can't stop looking at it. Thank you Llewie!

We asked Llewie to enclose our ensuite bathroom and in doing so he has created a beautiful construction that complements and enhances our large bedroom. What could have been merely functional is now a joyous feature in the room. The combination of glass panels and elegant oak beams is graceful and allows light to flow through the enclosure while ensuring privacy. Llewie is an artist. He has used his imagination and very considerable technique to give us this wonderful addition to our room.

Wow, fantastic oak framed car port/garage completed. This is the second time I have engaged the expert joinery services of Llewie at Crystal Woods in Devon. Previously it was an oak framed pergola, this time a bespoke oak framed three bay car port/garage. From the initial discussions on design, pricing and working through planning permission, Llewie’s communication and collaboration was excellent. Once we had planning permission agreed, (That included re-claimed roof tiles), Llewie’s pre-built the oak frame of the garage in a barn on Dartmoor, (Seeing it being constructed over several weeks was amazing), when built, it was delivered to our property in sections for final construction. I don’t have enough words for the quality of the build, the oak frame is immense, stunning, the attention to detail is fantastic.
We had some challenges with the re-claimed roof tiles but again Llewie worked through this, and the issues of different supplied tiles got resolved.
I highly recommend Llewie at Crystal Woods, thorough, honest and professional.
Please view my pictures of his work.

I have purchased a number of items and the quality is superb plus it feels very bespoke and not run of the mill like most!! The communication during the delivery and after sales service is top draw 👏👏👏 If you are looking for something special I’d highly recommend Crystal Woods.

I contacted Llewie hoping he could replace an internal door in our old stone cottage. The frame was very uneven and not without its challenges, but he made a perfectly fitting,
high-quality door, which blended with the original pine doors in the rest of the house. So thrilled with the result. Highly recommend this very talented young man.

Llewie and his assistant recently completed the installation of ten custom-made windows for our five-hundred year old cottage. In the course of removing old and rotting lintels he was able to expose a long standing issue of damp that was held deep within the stone wall. This led to some much needed restoration work.

Throughout the job Llewie brought his impeccable building skills to every aspect of the work; from finding innovative solutions to newly discovered problems to constantly maintaining a clean and well organised job site. He is extremely conscientious, very considerate and has a sense of humour. It was a tremendous pleasure to have such a creative craftsman in our home.

I first contacted Llewie to replace a rotting post on my verandah. He replied later that same day. I thought that it would be a difficult job due to the size of the post, the position set in quarry tiles and the fact that the post was supporting a pitched roof. However Llewie replaced the post with the minimum of fuss, zero damage to the surrounding area and with superb skill. He sourced a beautiful piece of oak for me and fashioned it so it matched exactly the other three posts. I could tell that he has a real passion for his craft. He is meticulous, extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled. He is also very pleasant, punctual and provides great value for money. I would 100% recommend Llewie Scott.

I approached this talented artist to help me create a unique resting place for a bit of my dad’s ashes, for myself and my mum, hence I have ordered twin boxes which look like one when put next to each other. I must say that the boxes are so high quality and full of artistry that it made me emotional. My dad would absolutely love it. I have requested a tree motif on it to honour my dad's love for trees. The request was so easily accommodated and my views and wishes taken into consideration in such a supportive and respectable manner, that I felt like a VIP customer.
Have a look at @crystalwoodcarpentry as their creations are amazing.
I cannot thank them enough for honouring my request with so much compassion, care and understanding. The best possible service I could dream of.

I approached Llewie of Crystal Wood Carpentry with a view to totally re-landscaping our existing garden. He was very helpful right from the initial meeting with suggestions of how we could proceed and came up with a rough design which, with input from myself, he amended slightly as the project went on.

Llewie was very conscientious in producing a good balance of ideas that worked both practically and aesthetically. For example we initially wanted a straight line of sleepers between the lower patio and the lawn area, but Llewie suggested a slightly different layout and, although I was initially sceptical, after seeing a rough layout I agreed to go with it. Now that it is finished, I have to agree it does look great.

The project itself was fairly challenging with limited access and space to work in but Llewie planned the materials and plant hire in advance so that we made best use of the space available.

During the project an issue with drainage arose (this had not been done properly when the house was built) and Llewie was very thorough in ensuring that a solution was found to remedy this to prevent any further issues going forward.

Llewie's work was of an exceptionally high standard and he was very thorough throughout. He was more than happy to answer my questions.
The finished garden looks superb and the reclaimed railway sleepers that were used for steps and a bench that have been stripped back and oiled look fantastic.

I would definitely recommend Crystal Wood Carpentry if you are looking for someone to landscape your garden to a high standard.
