Committed to exceptional craftsmanship
Adam Stone is the lead furniture maker and head instructor at Adam Stone Furniture.
And he really loves dogs.
Adam Stone is a custom furniture maker and woodworking teacher whose love of woodworking blossomed at his grandfather’s knee. Born and raised in Perthshire, an early passion for woodturning grew into a desire to create beautiful and useful objects. After graduating from the University of Dundee with degrees in his other passion, the study of human biology, Adam attended the Chippendale International School of Furniture in Gifford, studying woodworking, speciality joinery, and furniture making. Adam joined the staff as a full-time instructor specializing in woodturning. He taught at the furniture school for four years before returning home to Perthshire to open Adam Stone Furniture near Kettins, where he designs and makes bespoke hardwood furniture on a commission basis and teaches woodworking courses.
Adam still maintains firm ties to the Chippendale School and is a yearly guest tutor to teach those areas in which he specialises

Since then, she has taught woodworking courses for women in Seattle and has been making bespoke furniture on a commission basis.

We are proud to announce that we have taken on our first apprentice. Join us in welcoming Elara as our youngest addition to the business.

The Adam Stone Furniture workshop has space for up to 6 students for woodworking classes, a fully kitted machine shop, and incredible light in a converted centuries-old barn. Known for its gorgeous trees, Perthshire is a treasure trove of forestry in Scotland. Adam partners with local estates to harvest trees that need to be removed and mill them into timber that he turns into beautiful, bespoke furniture, kitchens, and art objects.
