Tom Kealy Furniture Maker

I am a passionate furniture designer, maker, and tutor with over 40 years of experience in the field.

Today, I share my knowledge and enthusiasm by offering engaging furniture-making classes to beginners and experienced woodworkers alike.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on diverse projects for renowned designers and individuals. My craftsmanship has resulted in numerous accolades, including prestigious Guild Mark awards for pieces such as the 'Somerset Chair' and a display cabinet.
