Keith Parkes

Keith is a true artist in wood, his work is genius.Every thing he makes seems very pleasing to the eye,quite a skill.From turning driftwood into wine racks,and building bespoke furniture.Everything looks so well made,and dimensionally correct.Keith is also a professional photographer,and his photographers are equally stunning.He's done amazing shots of the Cathness norther lights.From killer whale's to wedding photos,all have been beautiful shot by Keith.Truely a gifted man, mastering two trades.Few people can walk the line of craftman,and artist.

Visit was the highlight of our NC500 trip. Keith is SUCH a nice guy. Gave us a tour of his workshop. Very interesting story and tools. Beautiful pieces all sustainably sourced (e.g. driftwood or local fallen trees). Zero pressure to purchase anything. Will definitely come back.

We stopped on holiday. Was best thing we did. An absolute delight of a couple. Stunning pieces. Was in my glory. Wanted to be apprentice. Highly recommended to all.

The most incredible place ever visited. Keith told us all about the woods he works with, the machines he uses and the reason for the different patterns on the wood. There was no rush and absolutely no pressure to buy. It was so hard to choose what to buy. Everything is beautiful and unbelievable prices too. Eventually chose a wine rack which we will treasure forever. Highly recommend a stop here. You will not be disappointed. We will be back.

Keith’s workshop is an essential visit for anyone travelling the North Coast 500 route. He gave a great tour of the tools and techniques used to create the impressive furniture in his showroom - also an insight into his interesting life - all told with a great sense of humour. We look forward to purchasing some bespoke furniture for our flat, and visiting again the next time we travel NC500!

Loved visiting Keith's workshop, such beautiful work, really enthusiastic guy, just seems to love wood and what he sees in it to then create something with it. A real treat to visit, highly recommended.

Stumbled upon Keith's workshop whilst on a day out.I was so glad we did what an amazing place my wife fell in love with a chair as soon as we walked through the door.Great price for a handmade item.Hope to call again soon.
