My furniture and household objects are made using mainly traditional methods and from native wood which I source locally wherever possible. My work is made from trees and I try to keep that fact apparent in the finished piece. Burrs and knots in the wood are points of interest and add to the individuality of each item. I work alone with my faithful dog Tom, so although I work as quickly as possible, ordering furniture made by hand can take longer than mass produced furniture to arrive, I think that the finished piece is worth the wait! Unlike many things in our instant, throwaway society, my furniture is made to last and be passed down through generations.
