Getting started

 I have to start somewhere so... I am going to put some pictures of some of the things that I've made. Some pieces go back a few years but it makes more sense to start at the back and go forward.

I feel connected to each piece that I make, often because I've had the timber around for a while and  waited for the right time to use it, the right kind of project.

I had this piece of chestnut from Japan which I brought back to England along with some other nice timbers. The carcase is brown oak and the 2 rectangles are based on the golden section. I had a lot of help to make it as I had very little experience around this time of using machines and thinking joints out. Thanks Pete Legg. Not everybodies' cup of tea but good for some people like me.
