Dave’s Gallery of Work

I am continually making pieces from the timber I have sourced. If you do not see what you’re seeking always ask. I may have something suitable available, or I am quite happy to take a commission.

I particularly like working with wood that has its own story. I recently made some bowls from part of an oak tree that had to come down in a Park. It was for a Golden Wedding Anniversary and the couple courted under it when they were young.
