It Is All About The Wood

There is a beauty about working with something as wonderful as green wood.  I like to think that it is the ultimate tribute to a tree that, though its growing life has ended, its beauty and usefulness can continue.

No tree is ever specifically felled for my work.  Most have fallen as a result of storm damage or old age, some have been felled for health and safety reasons.  Many are hedgerow trees that have been pollarded or trimmed back and will regrow, prolonging their lives.

All my wood is sourced locally, the majority within 15 miles of my workshop.  The wood is used green or air dried.
