Hello all, here’s a few photos from
a personal project I’ve recently finished :-)… Our new garden! … We
used to have a pull-out canopy at the back, and after many years enjoying the extra space we decided to make it more personal, so now I’ve hand-made an amazing veranda… The most amazing area which we can enjoy all year round, a place where me and my Lady, along with our three dogburts : Toby, Taz, Tee and Tizzy our feline boss can all enjoy every day! The veranda is made of Douglas Fir and Cedar, no screws, just hand crafted joints and Beech Dowling holding it all together 🙂 beautiful woods! And I can’t wait to see how they age :-)

Hello, here’s a recent projected I’ve completed for a friend of mine, a bespoke coffee table, the Olive wood used for the top was supplied to me by my friend with the instructions to add some ducks n bees to a small natural crevice in the wood and fill with epoxy resin, I did it in two stages, blue resin first for a pond and then topped up with clear resin 🙂 a bit of fun 🙂, the legs I made out of Sycamore and the shelf is Olive Ash, it’s over 5 feet long and stands 16.5” high. I’ve never worked with Olive before and that long piece is really heavy compared, to most woods, it’s as heavy as Oak, it’s all come together to make a beautiful coffee table, and my friend was over the moon with it 🙂

Hiya 🙂 Just delivered a bespoke w**e rack for a friend 🙂 she’s supplied the Mango wood to me asking me to make a w**e rack out of it… So I found a piece of Iroco (African Teak Wood) which had a similar grain and colour to the Mango wood for the base 🙂 Holds 10 bottles 🙂 but probably not for very long :-))) Drink-up and enjoy 🙂 Hic Hic :-))
