Carpenters in Devon

Handcrafted Carpentry & Bespoke Joinery, Made in Dartmoor

There’s something timeless about well-made timber work. Whether it’s a hand-built porch, a set of solid oak doors, a bespoke staircase or a garden structure shaped to its landscape, true carpentry becomes part of the home.

At Crystal Woods, we’ve been crafting bespoke carpentry and artisan joinery across Devon for over 25 years. From our workshop in Widecombe-in-the-Moor, we design and build everything by hand,  no kits, no mass-production, just traditional craftsmanship shaped around your home.

If you’re looking for skilled carpenters in Devon who understand timber, structure, and long-term durability, you’re in the right place.

Bespoke Carpentry in Devon

Crafted to last, shaped to your home

Our carpentry is grounded in traditional methods and a respect for the timber itself. We work with English oak and sustainably sourced hardwoods, creating pieces that feel rooted in their environment and built for decades of use.

Porches & Entrances

Hand-built timber porches that add presence, shelter and architectural character to your home. Each porch is designed to proportion, crafted from solid oak or selected hardwoods.

Garden Seating & Outdoor Timber Work

Benches, arbours, deck seating and sheltered areas,  crafted to blend into your garden and withstand Devon’s weather year after year.

Decking, Steps, Posts & Balustrades

Designed for long-term strength and aesthetic harmony. We use the right timber for the right purpose, hand-cut, levelled and installed for stability and style.

Solid Wood Countertops

Oak, ash, beech and other hardwood worktops,  cut, joined, shaped and finished by hand in our Dartmoor workshop.

Garden Landscaping Timber Work

From raised beds to structural features, we create timber elements that feel naturally integrated into their surroundings.

Garden Rooms & Timber Structures

While not “kits”, our garden structures are handcrafted from solid timber, whether for outdoor seating, covered spaces or feature structures.

Each piece is built not just to serve a purpose, but to become part of your home’s story, one that will last for decades.

Joinery Services Across Devon

Handmade, precise, built to fit

Because carpentry and joinery overlap, much of our work blends the two — designed, built and installed by the same hands.

Staircases & Balustrades

Whether traditional or contemporary, our stair components are crafted in-house with precision and attention to grain, proportion and finish.

Bespoke Doors

Exterior or interior, solid timber doors built to last. Designed to fit, with traditional joinery and a focus on character.

Gates

Handmade gates crafted from characterful hardwoods, built for both beauty and durability.

Furniture & Built-In Timber Pieces

Tables, benches, shelving, cabinetry – functional pieces shaped from solid timber, made to measure for your space.

Combined Carpentry & Joinery Projects

Greenhouses, conservatories, summerhouses and similar structures often combine both disciplines – and we design, build and fit each one in-house.

Oak Framing & Structural Timber Work in Devon

Many of our larger projects involve traditional green oak framing, using mortise and tenon joints, pegged knee braces, hand-cut rafters and solid oak posts.

We build:

Oak framed pergolas

Oak gazebos

Timber framed outbuildings

Barn-style structures

Outdoor kitchens and covered seating areas

These are crafted with the same precision as our joinery,  no kits, no prefabricated systems, just traditional oak framing shaped to its site.

“The work was completed in an amiable and professional manner”
