About C M Furniture

Charlie is a bespoke furniture maker, currently located near Ashburton in Devon. Embracing the diversity of projects, his talents range from making intricate jewellery boxes to large fitted wardrobes and everything in between.

Having grown up on a family farm, pursuing a career that paired the utilisation of natural resources and practical skills was a clear passion from a young age. Inspiration came from his Grandfather, Peter Thomas, a renowned wood-turner in the South West. Charlie would spend hours admiring his Grandfathers’ workmanship and ability to create works of art from locally sourced timber.

After leaving sixth form, Charlie secured himself an apprenticeship with a reputable cabinet maker in Dorset. Over his 8 years with them, he quickly worked his way up the ranks to a senior role in which he was able to share his skills and knowledge with new apprentices. In order to expand Charlie’s craft, he found new employment with a high-end furniture maker in North Devon for 18 months.

Charlie then desired a new challenge, that would allow him to fully express his ideas and talent. March 2019 welcomed the birth of C M Furniture. Since those beginnings, he has been dedicated to hand crafting furniture for customers across the South of England.
