About

Jack Buchanan

Hi, yes that's me in the picture, Jack Buchanan.

Artistic Woodwork was born during the lockdown of 2020. What started as a keen hobby transformed into a full-time passion and business crafting bespoke, individual pieces for clients' homes.

Having stepped away from the workshop as of October 2026, I now bring that same master-level eye and dedication directly to your space as a mobile on-site restoration specialist.

Restoring your surface costs a fraction of replacement. Have a scarred or worn piece in mind? Pick up the phone, drop me an email, or send over a few photos today for a fast, free estimate—I love talking about new projects!

Refinishing and Restoration

Good for the planet, great for your pocket!

Quality furniture shouldn't end up in a skip just because life leaves its mark. We bring master-level on-site restoration directly to your home, office, or venue, breathing new life into tired tables and bar tops. By choosing to restore rather than replace, you eliminate unnecessary landfill waste and honour the honest timber beneath. Let’s keep exceptional woodwork where it belongs.

Restoring your surface costs a fraction of replacement—send over a few photos today for a fast, free estimate.

How do we operate?

Please reach out to jack@artisticwoodwork.co.uk if you have any further questions.

Need a refinish? How does it work?

1. Send Photos: Snap a few clear pictures of the damage—whether it's water rings, deep scratches, heat burns, or a worn finish—along with a wide shot of the table or bar top, and email or whatsapp them over.

2. Get a Fast Estimate: I’ll review the photos, assess the timber and finish required, and provide a clear, upfront quote for the on-site work.

3. On-Site Restoration: We arrange a convenient time for me to come directly to your home, office, or venue. Using professional, low-dust techniques and premium finishes, I carefully strip, prep, and restore your surface right where it stands—leaving zero mess behind.

Do I need to move the table or prep the room before you arrive?

No preparation is needed on your part. I bring all necessary protection sheets, dust-extraction equipment, and professional tools to safeguard your floors and surrounding space while I work right where the furniture sits.

How long does an on-site restoration take?

Most residential dining tables and commercial bar tops are fully completed within a single day, minimizing any disruption to your home or business.

Will there be strong chemical smells or a lot of dust during the process?

I use modern, low-VOC finishes and professional sanders equipped with high-efficiency dust extraction, ensuring the process is clean, safe, and virtually dust-free indoors.

How do I choose or fit one of your contemporary steel bases?

If you are pairing your existing tabletop with one of my handmade steel bases, just share your table's dimensions and weight. I will help you select the ideal contemporary style and ensure it is properly configured for a seamless fit.

What types of damage can be repaired on-site?

I routinely fix deep scratches, water rings, heat burns, stubborn stains, fading, and worn-out topcoats on timber surfaces, bringing them back to a flawless finish.

What finish do we use?

I use a premium penetrating hard-wax oil (with custom colour options) paired with a high-end ceramic coating for the ultimate combination of protection and appearance. The hard-wax oil is UV-curing, meaning it cures instantly on-site for immediate use, while the ceramic topcoat adds exceptional durability against daily wear, stains, and moisture while significantly enhancing the wood's natural grain, definition, and beauty.

What if my table is bowed or cupped?

While some cupped or bowed timber can be stabilized using specialized on-site techniques, every piece of wood behaves differently. I can assess the severity of the warp when you send photos and apply targeted remedies, though I cannot guarantee a permanent fix for deeply bowed timber due to wood's natural tendency to move. .
