Meet Tim Barnes

What began as a hobby soon became a passion for creating well-designed, functional pieces that combine craftsmanship, precision, and attention to detail.

Today, Earthworm Fine Woodworking is dedicated to building bespoke furniture, custom commissions, and unique handcrafted projects designed to be used, enjoyed, and built to last

I enjoy the process of turning ideas into finished pieces. From the first sketch to the final coat of finish, every project is approached with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality.

My goal is simple: create beautiful, functional work that people can enjoy for years to come.

The Workshop

Alongside precision woodworking equipment, I use modern fabrication tools including the Shaper Origin CNC system, laser engraving, and 3D printing. These capabilities allow me to produce personalised details, custom components, intricate designs, and one-off solutions that would be difficult to achieve using conventional methods alone.

By combining quality materials, modern equipment, and careful craftsmanship, I can bring ideas to life with precision and creativity while ensuring every piece is built to a high standard.
