Slowly adding more photos of things I've made
My unique original rustic items are hand made using an array of natural wood ,all sourced from Lancashire woodlands.  I take pride in using traditional carpentry skills and simple hand tools.  Each item is a unique one off ,the shape and design being led by the flow and rhythms of the wood. I use sticks, branches and logs with rough bark and smooth grain to show contrast and texture.
