All my pieces are designed and created in my workshop in Sussex England overlooking the rolling Sussex Downs which are a great source of inspiration.
Material is carefully selected for its suitability and cut and hand planed.
All final working performed by hand as are applying the final finishes such as oil, French polish and waxes. This ensures the desired final quality is achieved.
With such a high degree of hand working some minor variances can occur which add further character to the piece and set it apart from the mass produced.
