Kirkby Corner began as a collection of notes gathered over years of working with solid wood in a small workshop in Kraków. The idea was straightforward: gather accurate, practical information on the topics that matter to people who build furniture by hand — and make that information freely accessible.
What this site covers
The articles on Kirkby Corner focus on four areas: the hand and power tools used in woodworking, the properties of timber species available across Poland and Central Europe, the structural joints that hold furniture together, and practical approaches to DIY furniture construction. Each article is based on documented techniques rather than promotional material.
Who writes here
Content is researched and written by the editorial team at Kirkby Corner Ltd, a company registered in Kraków, Poland. Where we cite external sources, we link to peer-reviewed material, established trade references such as The Wood Database, or publications from organisations like the Popular Woodworking community.
Editorial standards
Articles are updated when technical information changes — for example, when revised moisture content guidelines are published or when a timber species becomes newly available or restricted in Poland. Update dates appear on each article page. We do not accept sponsored posts or affiliate commissions on any content published here.
