Motopas Chair in English Walnut
The inspiration for this three legged chair came from a small stool brought back from Zimbabwe, the back of which had been carved out a halved tree trunk with a hole made for the seat and back leg which were also carved out of a single piece of wood. The curve of the two front legs in my version was inspired by the graceful curve of the human back as it runs down from shoulder to thigh. All the pieces for the legs have been steam-bent and then shaped by hand.
This chair in English Walnut will cost £2,000.

Coffee table in English Walnut
The design of this table developed during my first term of life drawing. The six sides of the top reflect the gentle, convex and intersecting curves of the human body and its asymmetry is reminiscent of a person standing with most of their weight on one leg. The original design was for a mirror, however when I bought the wood, I realised that the sweeping curve of the grain was asking to be used as the long sides of a table and perhaps the glass in the centre reflects the original mirror idea.
In English Walnut this table will cost £1,500.

Cabinet in English and American Oak
This cabinet was designed and made during my training with Jonathan Markovitz. The brief was to design a relatively simple piece which incorporated all the basic skills involved in cabinet making - including frame and panel construction, drawer making and veneering. The result is this simple bedside cabinet which is partly made from a beautiful, quarter-sawn board of English Oak from Hatfield Forest.
A pair of beside cabinets in English Oak will cost £2,500.

Cabinet in Olive Ash
In English Ash the youngest timber is always light in colour but as the tree ages the heartwood often takes on a lovely golden hue known as ‘Olive’. Such was the size of this tree from the Longleat Estate, the components for this very simply designed cabinet could be cut from half the width of the board, highlighting the beautiful variations in the grain.
This cabinet in Olive Ash will cost £1,400
(Height : 625mm; Width : 450mm; Depth : 305mm)
Dovetail Box in American Black Walnut with Cedar lining
This box featuring hand-cut dovetails, fielded panels top and bottom and a lacquered finish was my first foray into working in hardwoods. Small pieces such as this are a joy to create and make an ideal gift for a special occasion.
A box of this size costs in the region of £500.
