My company, Focus Publishing, recently commissioned Peter Bishop to produce a range of quality wooden furniture for a book we were producing on the subject. The results were superb. The furniture is elegant yet functional and hard-wearing at the same time. I wholeheartedly recommend Peter and his company for any kind of furniture commission
