Over the years I have built all kinds of pieces, a lot of which were never photographed. At the time, marketing & self-promotion wasn't what I did. Here are a few that got on camera

Blue beds and Pine beds in the park. That was a good day. Everyone needs a bed and I've made quite a lot of them

Wardrobes - this one was made for my wife soon after we met, to replace the rickety rail she'd had

The Ash ladder was a commission for a couple in London who had books stored up near the ceiling, They wanted a ladder reminiscent of the traditional window cleaners ladder, but something a little sculptural as well. Well, those ladders are shaped like a fish, aren't they?

The table & benches were made for a couple who had cut down a huge London Plane tree in their garden in Liverpool, had had it sawn into planks and stored for six years until they moved to Brighton bringing it all with them. Soon after they were looking for someone to build a large dining table and seating from it. The waney edges were kept, just buffed smooth and polished. The wood was beautiful in itself

The brief for the cupboard in the eves of an attic conversion was that it shouldn't look like a cupboard, more a piece of art. No handles or hinges showing so push catches and concealed pivot hinges were employed. The background is pale Ash veneer and set in relief onto that is a long wiggly piece of stained and highly polished solid Ash whose shape was drawn out on a rolled out piece of lining paper during a very entertaining and memorable couple of hours with the customer

A couple who had a large open plan house wanted some kind of structure to partition their hallway from their living space. It was to be semi-functional. Sculptural shelving. Over a few glasses of wine somehow the idea of a tree came up. After several outings to local woods, eventually a fallen Yew tree was found and carted back to the workshop, mostly hanging out the back of my old VW camper. One side of the tree was sliced off and polished, the other side had polished yew shelves and coat pegs fitted around the branches

The Glass Roof Extension I've already mentioned as being part of a new kitchen scheme. What a treat it is to sit in comfort looking up at a snowstorm, torrential rain, the bright blue summer sky or the starry at night

Sitting in a friends house during extensive renovation, wondering what other solutions there were to getting from the ground floor to the first, the idea of floating timber treads began to take shape. You cannot imagine the amount of metalwork hidden behind the plaster. The resulting staircase is pure magic
