Hello and Welcome

I am a Furniture Maker from Ludlow in Shropshire who specializes in the designing and making of contemporary furniture, boxes and other household items. I am a woodworker and each piece that I make is individually crafted from solid English, European and American hardwoods.

My work ranges in size from small clocks and boxes to large free standing pieces of furniture.

I create pieces you can enjoy for years to come.
