“Bespoke joinery” is a term you might hear a lot when planning a renovation, extension, or new build—but what does it actually mean? More importantly, is it something you need for your project, or just a nice-to-have?

When it comes to woodworking, the technique is never just about tradition—it’s about intention. Every joint, curve, or surface finish serves a purpose, and knowing which approach to use is what separates thoughtful craftsmanship from decorative guesswork.

In a world of CNC routers and automated everything, it might seem old-fashioned—or even inefficient—to reach for a hand plane or chisel. But at Moss House Interiors, hand tools still play an essential role in our workshop.
