The week starts with a new addition to our portfolio! Zestig is a minimalist side table made out of cherry, walnut, and maple. It was made as a gift for the 60th birthday of a loved one. ❤️

For more photos and info visit Zestig’s page in our shop. Are you interested in a bespoke piece like this? Get in touch and we’ll be happy to help!

Still busy cutting mortises and tenons… This commissioned piece has got a lot of them… es

Strepen Drie is a striped serving board that will make your hors d’oeuvres, sushis, or cheeses look even more delightful.  This is Espenaer’s third striped serving board – Strepen and drie simply mean ‘stripes’ and ‘three’ respectively in Dutch – and features 8 different woods!

For more info and photos have a look at our online shop.

Happy to resume a project that was on hold for a while. The dimensioning part had already been done. Now time to cut some mortises.

Since we moved into this iconic former school in Amsterdam-West, we’ve committed ourselves to creating a workshop that inspires people and makes them feel a connection with artisanal woodworking. The latest job was finally painting those awful exterior doors to Espenaer’s characteristic navy blue. 🙂

Vlekken is a cute little cabinet designed to store your wine and liquor, but is also perfectly fitted for other items of comparable height and size.

Entirely crafted by hand out of sustainably sourced oak and maple and featuring traditional wood joints.

Every now and then we go treespotting (and hugging). Such marvelous beings they are. Some shots here of the leaves of the common walnut (Juglans regia), the pin oak (Quercus Palustris), and common beech (Fagus sylvatica)
