Hi, I am Tiaan.

I am Tiaan van der Merwe, and I build furniture by hand. What started as making things for our own home has turned into Tiaan Carpentry: solid, honest pieces made to be used every day.

I like heavy timber, clean joints and a stain that lets the grain show. Every piece is measured, cut, sanded and finished by me, so I can make it the exact size your space needs.

I am just starting out, so every order matters to me. You deal with me directly from the first message to the day your piece is ready.
