Custom woodworking by Charles Sandford.

Since 2015, McKay Joinery has been part of the Charles Sandford custom woodworking business, operating out of a shared site in Preston. As a result, we're able to offer a full suite of custom timber fabrication services in addition to doors and windows, and provide an integrated service "under one roof".

Charles Sandford has been crafting timber since 1973 and provides woodturning, furniture, cabinetry, architectural components and other timber fabrication services for some of Australia's most respected architects, builders, developers and furniture designers, as well as homeowners. Their work spans cutting-edge architecture, building restoration, furniture, product components and commercial fit-outs.
