Jewellery Box
Smaller ThingsThis was designed in close collaboration with a client who wanted a unique gift. The box has a number of different storage compartments (some hidden!).
Wedding Box
Smaller ThingsThis was designed to hold small gifts for a wedding. The wedding box is made from Scottish elm and has dovetail construction. The lid of the box has customised engraving to mark the date (the bride & groom are both keen cyclists!)
Elm Memory Box
Smaller ThingsDesigned to hold specific items, this memory box is made from Scottish elm in a dovetail construction. The lid features the tree of life cut out from lighter sycamore and rebated into a circular recess.
Whisky Box
HomePage Smaller ThingsThe Whisky box was designed as a gift from members of the local triathlon club to one of their friends. The box is made from beautifully grained local ash in a dovetail construction. The inside of the box is made from birch ply shaped to hold a very nice 21 year old bottle of Arran single malt and 6 glasses. The box is customised with laser engraved text and logo.
Ash Natural Edge Mirror
Bedroom Smaller ThingsScottish ash typically has great grain patterns and this is a nice way to show off a piece with its edge still on. The use of ash gives a contemporary feel.
Tree Picture
Smaller ThingsThe Tree Picture is something a bit different. The tree shape is cut out of a single piece using a fret saw and mounted in a frame of contrasting wood.
Yin Yang Candle Holder
Smaller ThingsThis is a simple but elegant way to show off a beautiful piece of wood. Have made these in a variety of wood species.
Triple Arch Candle Holder
Smaller ThingsThis started as an experiment to use some small offcuts by laminating them and cutting to make nesting candle holders. They proved to be so popular that I have now made many, many sets using different combinations of wood species.
Burr Elm Mirrors
Bedroom Living Room Smaller ThingsSome pieces of wood deserve to be shown off. These pieces of burr elm were looking great before being planed up, but with a bit of work and finished with oil the grain is amazing.
Burr elm mirrors are 1m x 75cm, finished in Danish oil
Bread Boards
Kitchen Smaller ThingsI hadn’t seen this idea before but managed to get two commissions to make crumb catching bread boards in the same week. I believe the idea originates from Germany/Austria and is incredibly clever. The breadboard has a removable slotted top with a recess below to catch crumbs as you cut bread. I made 3 – one each in ash, elm and oak and finished them in food safe mineral oil.
