The Woodworks

Well I’m an old boy that’s been working with wood in various forms for over 30 years. I started reclaiming pine “antiques” way back in the late 80s, in those days it wasn’t called up cycling, just lovely furniture released from 60s paint jobs. Moving on after several recessions I found myself making rather than restoring, and enjoyed the freedom of design. I was also making the most of the beautiful elm that was in abundance at the time. Latterly whilst still making furniture, I moved into oak framing about 10 years ago. I wanted to build one for myself and thought I’d better practise. Some of my items are made from windblown and storm damaged trees, everything from coffee tables to houses.
