It is truly amazing what you can create with a few simple hand tools, like a hammer and chisel. The feeling of joy at creating something beautiful from a lump of wood is what inspired my journey as a woodworker

Each piece I made is crafted with love and passion for the natural material I work with, showcasing the unique character of our native timbers
