The creations come from the wood and I allow the grain, colour and quirkiness of the wood to dictate the final outcomes. I source local wood such as oak, cherry, ash, maple, and yew but I will use any other locally harvested woods. I try to use materials that would otherwise be buried, burned or discarded. I enjoy making bespoke things especially, and I work with local tree surgeons and their clients who commission items made from the trees that have been felled and would otherwise be destined for firewood.
