Tall Stool

Another stool that was unfortunately disappeared before I had a chance to photograph properly. It was made of pine, very old pine that turns nice and smells amazing.

Barometer

Made from Yew which had a few cracks and abrasions. It was all glued together nicely and finished in 2K clear coat to bond it all nicely. The actual barometer was presented to a Mr Musson for his long service…

Yew Clock

Another lovely Yew Clock, some of the wood has cracks, they were glued and it was finished with several coats of two pack clear coat to hold it all together. The back unscrews to allow access to the clock mechanism,…

Birthday Clock

Didn’t have much time to make this, the wood was tricky to match, made the stem in dark yew originally but it didn’t look nice. Turned out nice but I should have taken better pictures before I gifted it.
