R.A Woodcraft: “craftmanship | integrity | sustainability”
At the head of the team founder, Rudolf Zuidema, has over two decades of woodworking experience.
He is classically trained and a fully qualified joiner/wood machinist, but above all else he has an infectious passion for innovation.
Rudolf has represented South Africa at the World Skills Olympics in Joinery where he finished in the Top 10.
During his training he spent time training under a British master joiner, refining his skills and learning traditional joinery techniques.
Investment into state of the art German machines and the very best tools has enabled the team at R.A. Woodcraft’s craftsmanship and skills to shine.
Rudolf’s moto is craftmanship, integrity and sustainability and this embodied by all who work at R.A. Woodcraft.
r.a.w: “Making life just that little more special and lovely”
r.a.w has grown from R.A. Woodcraft spear headed by Rudolf’s wife, Jana.
Her vision is to create a lifestyle brand of bespoke wood products that make life just that little more special and lovely.
Using the skills of Rudolf and his team the r.a.w products are of top quality and craftmanship using top grade wood and finishes that are synonymous with the R.A Woodcraft brand.
R.A. Woodcraft has recently completed the full scope of joinery for me in my own home. As an architect I found Rudolf to be knowledgeable, technically brilliant, abreast of all the latest hardware as well as having a great eye for detail and finish. As a client I appreciated his professionalism and honesty, but especially the personal attention to detail he gives by doing all the making with his small (but very efficient and personable) team. If it is quality and bespoke design you are after, look no further.
Thank you so much for our beautifully crafted beds, the twins love them! I’m so grateful to have found someone who could make them exactly the way we wanted, with such attention to detail, and who was still able to take our budget into consideration. Rudolf came personally to deliver and assemble the beds and even helped with disassembling the cots! Great service and amazing products.
What a great team to work with! Saw my ideas and brought them to life! I’m pretty sure I’ll be using you guys again in the future! Thank you again for such awesome service and such beautiful work.
Very happy with the work done on our TV cabinet. Very professional .. will definitely use RA Woodcraft again and I highly recommended Rudolf and his team.
