A Bit About Me:	I currently produce my own unique furniture in the form of chairs, stools and benches. The chairs are inspired from Welshstick chairs and have my own styling incorporated into them. The stools i have made now well into the 200 number i call the 'Cradley' stool have 3 sweet chestnut legs with stylised stretchers and an 'Adzed' top which is both elegant and comfortable. The benches are inspired partly from 'Gaudi' architecture in Barcelona. They come in either a single seat or double and triples. All furniture is from local sources and are native Oak, Ash, Yew, Walnut and Sweet chestnut. I have studied for many years training for 5 years at various art collages and have had an apprentiship in 'Greenwood'working based in herefordshire. I now have been in business for over 10 years as a self employed designer and maker in furniture.
My Services:	Besides making one-offs or batch numbers of chairs, stools and benches i have also had commissions for tables. All in local native timber. All have a unique individual style and character. I also can demonstrate my skills in Greenwood working techniques at show and fairs . I employ such techniques as Adzing, cleaving and chopping on a shavehorse and with an axe and drawknife. I am available for demos for a fee charged. Please enquire if interested. You can also commission me to design and make for your home or garden.
