“Mr James Bray did a masterly job of closing an open space under my kitchen sink with a double door that he himself cut to fit from two pieces of salvaged Victorian flame mahogany. He supplied the doors with perfect ironmongery, all of which works like a treat. The finished object looks beautiful, and is impressively good craftsmanship.”
