“I love the creative process of making beautiful things from wood – from finding a fallen branch to turning it into a unique spoon. I carve wood when it’s green – still fresh and supple – before leaving it to season and then oiling it with organic linseed oil.”

​

“All my items  are suitable for everyday use – just wash them in warm, soapy water and dry them straight away.”

​

“I use wood from trees grown in the local area, predominantly Birch, Rowan and Hazel, but also occasionally Holly, Oak, Cherry, Willow, Apple and other species I chance upon. I source my wood from friends’ crofts, where it is sustainably coppiced, or from trees cut down to keep roads or powerlines clear.”

​

“I try to keep my impact on the environment to a minimum by cycling to work, using hand tools instead of power tools and using organic linseed oil to protect my finished work.”
