John McShane
Crafted in Cooley.
The Craftsman
I'm John McShane. I run Setanta Woodcraft & Carpentry out of Carlingford, Co. Louth. I build bespoke fitted furniture, kitchens, and joinery for homeowners, developers, and hospitality businesses across Louth and South Armagh.
Everything I make is designed personally with the client and built by hand. The name Setanta isn't just a brand. It's a standard. If it has my name on it, it's built right.
Why Setanta?
The name comes from the young Cu Chulainn, who grew up right here in Cooley. The craft goes back a long way. When you commission work from Setanta, you deal with one person from start to finish. I design it, I build it, I fit it. If anything isn't right, you call me directly.
What I Build
- Bespoke fitted kitchens
- Fitted wardrobes and bedroom furniture
- Custom staircases and staircase cladding
- Live-edge shelving, tables, and craft pieces
- Custom joinery and renovation carpentry
- Flooring, doors, and window frames
Where I Work
Based in Carlingford, I regularly work across the Cooley Peninsula, Dundalk, Newry, South Armagh, and the wider Co. Louth area. For the right project, I'll travel further. Get in touch to discuss.
