01 / Dining
Grenade Table with Skull Chairs
A full set built around a shell casing base, with carved chairs and a thick glazed top that lets the grain read straight through.
Handcrafted wooden furniture
Built by hand.Built to last.
War Wood is a Ukrainian workshop making premium furniture from solid timber and salvaged steel. Every table, dresser and chair is drawn for one room, cut once and finished by hand, so the piece that arrives carries warmth, weight and a history nobody else owns.
Made in Ukraine
Made to order
Nothing is stocked and nothing is repeated. Your piece is drawn for your room.
Solid timber
Cut to show the grain rather than hide it, then oiled so it keeps darkening for years.
Salvage and steel
Armour plate, running gear and forged iron worked into furniture you can live with.
Workshop built
One team from the first sketch to the day it is carried through your door.
The work
Pieces with a past
and a long future
These are not catalogue items. Each one began as raw timber and salvaged metal on the workshop floor and ended as a piece somebody eats at, works at or passes down. Four of them below.
02 / Statement
Base of Tank Table
Road wheels and running gear taken off the scrap line, cleaned, blacked and topped with a single run of hardwood.
03 / Sculptural
Helicopter Table
Shaped entirely from timber in the workshop, part furniture and part model, built up panel by panel before finishing.
04 / Made to order
Custom Table
Your length, your timber, your finish, carried on forged ironwork. The piece that starts as a sketch on the workshop wall and ends in your room.
Custom furniture
Original designs,
made to order
Tell us the room and we design into it. We take the measurements, talk through how the piece will actually be used, then sketch until the proportions are right. You pick the timber from what is in the rack, you see the joinery before it is glued and you sign off the finish before it goes on.
- Drawings and a fixed price before anything is cut.
- Timber chosen with you, board by board.
- Progress photos from the workshop as the piece goes together.
- Hand finished, cured and delivered by the people who built it.

How it works
Four steps from
idea to delivery
No showroom, no middleman and no surprises at the end. Here is the whole process.
Step 01
Talk it through
You send the room, the rough size and anything you have seen that you like. We come back with questions and a direction, not a sales pitch.
Step 02
Sketch and quote
You get drawings, a timber proposal and a fixed price. Nothing goes on the saw until you are happy with all three.
Step 03
Build by hand
Joinery, shaping, metalwork and assembly all happen in one workshop, and photos come to you as the piece takes shape.
Step 04
Finish and deliver
Oiled or lacquered by hand, left to cure properly, then wrapped, delivered and set in place.
The material
Wood first, always
Steel and salvage give a piece its shock. The wood is what you actually live with. We work in solid hardwood rather than veneer over board, cut so the figure runs where the eye goes, and finish with oils that leave the surface open. It marks, it darkens, it picks up the room it stands in, and that is the point.
Furniture should be heavier than it looks, older every year, and impossible to mistake for anybody else's.
Previous projects
Out of the workshop
Carcasses in clamps, raw pine before the stain goes on, finished pieces in the rooms they were built for.
Commission
Tell us about
the room
Send the space, the rough size and anything you have seen that you like, a photo is plenty to start. We reply with ideas, timber options and a price. Commissions are taken in order, so the earlier you write, the sooner we can cut.
