What you should know about David Kirkland, Cabinetmaker & Antique Restorer
David Kirkland completed such an apprenticeship at the distinguished William Nees Sons in Dunedin and came away with a superb knowledge of the art of cabinet making both in constructing and restoring. Time spent in London working for Roger Board Son saw him use the traditional methods to create 18th Century style period rooms, and he built upon these skills in Germany. David set up his business in Wellington, New Zealand in the early 1980’s, and has since become an expert in the field. For David, constructing the impeccable piece brings great satisfaction and pride.
The challenge of designing a piece from pattern to end product seeing how the joints will become one, drawing the piece out in scale and putting hours of physical effort into crafting and perfecting the wood is a labour of love. David enjoys restoring furniture with a history, from a time when everything was done by hand. It is this knowledge passion for his trade that makes a piece of furniture from David Kirkland something that will last the ages
Joinery is a trade as exacting as cabinet making but on a larger scale, and the skills employed are not dissimilar. Linked by construction, joinery and cabinetmaking have much the identical joints.
Some knowledge of mathematics, geometry and technical drawing are necessary skills when approaching the world of cabinet making. These three chairs were commissioned to entire a four table setting in which the clever chair post Regency was the basis for the table design oval single pedestal. To be capable to bring back a badly damaged part to a customer who you know treasures that join which bonds generations is a privilege which I love. New Zealand grown Sycamore Orinoco, Nelson was the timber used to yield this hutch.
At one stage, cabinetmaking workshops changed from using firm timbers to employing veneered man made board. These three chairs were commissioned to total a four table setting in which the clever chair post Regency was the basis for the table design oval single pedestal. But maximum imperative is an interest in how a good portion of furniture is constructed, as healthy as enjoying and indeed, thriving on the challenge of achieving that result. The part also has a Rosewood veneered top and bottom, and a irritable banded edge and plywood.
Around the time that that occurred, I moved to occupied in joinery workshops and embraced the joinery field. This is an example of an interesting cabriolet, balanced to suit the charge chair of that period. After straying into the joinery trade for some years, I finally set up my own workshop, and steered my work interests back to cabinetmaking. It was with the best degree of detail and accuracy that they presented the innovative designs of the day. Joinery is a trade as exacting as cabinet making but on a larger scale, and the skills employed are similar.
