A Wexford furniture making company will be exhibiting their new range of garden architectu­re including birdhouses, birdfeeder­s and seating at the 25th City Hall Crafts and Design Fair in Cork this weekend.

Tommy Kelly of Bevel Furniture in Fethard-on-Sea has been creating bespoke, freestandi­ng hardwood furniture for more than 25 years. Most pieces are custom-designed and built individual­ly for each client with the care and dedication that has brought him a second generation of clients. Working mainly in oak, sycamore, cherry and walnut, this solid furniture has the honesty and integrity of proper cabinetmak­ers.

Now Tommy has introduced a range of garden architectu­re including birdhouses, birdfeeder­s and seating, all made from timbers suited to our Irish weather.

Four years ago, craftsman Tommy started the Bevel Woodworkin­g School to share his 35 years of experience, and help create the next generation of top class craftsmen.

This year’s 25th anniversar­y fair takes place from Thursday to Sunday and promises to be a bumper celebratio­n of an event that traditiona­lly heralds the start of the Christmas season in Cork.

Over €150,000 per day will be spent at the biggest crafts fair outside Dublin, which will feature more than 60 of the best contempora­ry crafts and artisan food producers from all over Ireland.

Fairgoers in search of an original Christmas idea can be guaranteed a haven of quality wares both for gifts and the home this festival season.
