Producing unique contemporary furniture and kitchenware using traditional craft techniques. Steam bending, spokeshaving amongst other artisan methods adds a human warmth to his work, that modern machining lacks.
Sustainable, local and honest natural materials. Local sourcing of the material is an important part of his furniture making. I'm happy to say that 100% of the main materials used are from Devon. I actively manage a woodland where I coppice, fell and replant trees.
From log to finished piece
I have my own sawmill, which allows me to source wood locally and plank myself. After the log is sawmilled it is air dried naturally for 2 years before being used. Winter storms sadly bring down many old trees. Often trees are cut up for firewood without respecting the value of the wood that lies inside. Sourcing my material in this way is very rewarding and allows me to have a deeper connection with the land and the material.
