My name is Simon Shard and I run my own joinery business based in Crewkerne, Somerset. I spent fifteen years in the Royal Navy before retraining as a wooden boat builder at the Lyme Regis boat building academy. I completed this course with a mark of distinction.

I have a capable workshop and combine my service attitude & ethics with specialised boat building skills. I am able in a wide range of joinery / restoration elements, working to a high standard to ensure satisfaction.

I hope my website displays the range and quality of my past work. I welcome any commissions large or small be they simple, unusual or challenging!  I enjoy the variety & diversity each new customer & project brings.
