Sam Penniston - Owner/ Furniture Maker

Sam has always had an interest in woodwork since Secondary School. He began developing Penny Wood back in 2014 as a hobby by collecting driftwood from local Norfolk beaches and creating clocks to sell online and in local craft shops.

Interest in Sam's work grew and he was soon being comissioned to make various items such as tables and toy boxes. With a low budget Sam found that using reclaimed wood was the ideal material. It was econimical and offered the rustic character he liked.

By 2015 Sam was receiving enough sales he could leave his full-time job and focus on his woodworking - Penny Wood Recycling was born.

At the end of 2017, Sam decided to take a year out and travel South East Asia. Even getting the opportunity to work with locals in Cambodia and teach them woodworking.

After coming back, Sam decided that too many people are trying their hand at making and selling "rustic reclaimed wood furniture" with sellers undercutting eachother he felt the quality of products would no longer there.

This is where Penny Wood Bespoke comes in. A company that is focused on producing quality furniture built in a way that allows for seasonal wood movement. This is something many other furniture makers do not consider - resulting in furniture that will warp and crack over time.

Using traditional joinery methods - Sam is now able to produce furniture that is not only beautiful but also built to last.
