  All the items shown on this web site can be purchased, and all contacts and ideas I get will be followed up with great interest. As a guide, prices start at less than a fiver for a bottle stopper or a small bud vase, candle holders are around £9, goblets are between £20 and £40, and salad and fruit bowls will vary between £30 and £100 depending upon size.

Here are some of my most recent commissions.
 
         
 

Sophie's Bowl

 

Tony's Bowl

 
     
         
  This bowl was made for a very dear friend as a wedding present. The bowl has been turned from Rippled Sycamore and finished with friction polish.   This salad bowl is from Tiger Striped Sweet Chestnut. Several coats of finishing oil have created an excellent result. I was at school with Tony for 6 years from 1954  
         
 

Four Candles

 

 

 
     
         
  Two pairs of tee light candle holders, these are made from Rippled Sycamore and have been finished with friction polish.  
         
 

Ring Holders

 

Nick's Bowls

 
     
         
  These Elm ring holders have been finished with friction polish. The pair were turned from one original blank, they are very similar, but are not identical. The same description applies to the twins for whom they were made.   Two salad bowls for my old school mate and flying buddy, Nick. They are made of English Acacia and are sealed with finishing oil.  
         
 

Liz's Candles

 

Eileen's Goblets

 
     
         
  A trio of tee light candles for Liz, with a Melamine finish, they were made from some very nice Spalted Beech.   Eileen needed a set of goblets, in return for all the help and kindness given by her brother.
