Beautiful Furniture from Amazing Trees

We undertake the entire process, from milling the tree to designing and making an item that perfectly captures its unique qualities.

I also potter about on Instagram…

I’m bringing a new product to @popup.y.bont on Saturday (5 Oct). These ‘pots’ are made entirely by (my) hand from British Oak.
.
They are a study in using a minimalist set of tools and joints to create a complex structure. They tessellate beautifully or work as a single item.
.
What’s more they are dead handy for pens and pencils, tools, cutlery, you name it.
.
See you at the Bont.

Gloves and bandsaws aren’t a great combination except when you’re changing blades. It’s like wrestling with a barracuda.

A long day’s card scraping on this incredible piece of Burr Maple. Worth it though.

You never want to find metal in a piece of wood. Least of all when you’re working with a lovely old plane like this. Luckily it’s lead shot and very very very small. I can breathe again.

Perk of the job: nicking stock to use at home. Consequently this little Cherry shelf unit is no longer available. But I do have more Cherry so if you fancy something similar…

Prototyping is the process of placing as many tools as possible on your bench while making one simple thing as many ways as possible. The result is pretty though.

Batch work maths gets scarey quickly. 4 trestle tables = 8 saw horses = 16 Panels = 64 Half lap joints = 256 cuts. No I won’t be doing them by hand. Happy Friday folks.

My favourite chisel. One of a set of four that cost about fifteen quid. No wooden handles, not even Japanese. How am I supposed to have a cool Insta account with such inferior equipment? #toolshame

The latest from my blog… The Office of National

The latest from my blog...

The Office of National Statistics have released figures for the average cost of a square meter of residential property. As you would expect it varies dependent upon your location, from £979 in West Wales to a whopping £24,493 in Kensington and Chelsea with a national average of £3,017. So, how much is the floor your furniture sits on costing you? Remember you need to think about the space that surrounds it too. A King Size bed with room to walk around three sides comes in at £18,830. A six-seater dining table with room for the chairs, £19,012. A desk and chair? That will be £7,604 and we have not even started to think about the cost of borrowing the money to buy that bit of floor. So, when your furniture does not fit the space it isn’t just a waste of space it’s a waste of money.

There is a gap to the right of my desk that I have just measured. It isn’t huge but It will cost me £1,179 to buy that bit of wasted space. If I had made my desktop, I would have charged myself a few quid to extend the desktop by that much. Almost all of the furniture I make is completely customisable and whilst some modifications will cost a little extra, I can pretty much guarantee that at no point will I ever charge an extra £1,179 let alone nearly £25,000 for an extra square meter of it. So, how can you afford off the shelf furniture?
