Tram bench
I recently found these amazing bench ends with a gothic feel. I have added new oak and it looks pretty nice. The mechanism means you can face one way or the other. Perfect on a tram .

Beach Hut News
Another revamp of the hut and I have gone a bit minimal. Out go all the old bits and bobs and with summer here it is time to make some new pieces. Here's just a taster of a few new things in photo form!

Huge table
Again a large piece of furniture . This is a board room table for a design company . Made from European oak it measures 3m x 1.8m and was a bugger to carry up three flights of stairs !

Oak hut
By way of a change from the furniture and pictures I have been making something a little bigger in scale. It is an entrance hut for a school in North London. It is oak framed and will have its sedum roof added quite soon. It also weighs about 3 tons.

The little boats in boxes are quite nice too

Final piece
So here it is after a coat of lacquer ready to hang........ Another slab of elm is waiting for the treatment. You can buy it in the hut for £395.
Here's how I make these pictures.
Sadly I am not a great artist but I do love scalpels which is worrying and a health hazard.
I tape over a huge slab of wood, then I cut out the sections,with a scalpel,where I want paint to appear. This can I take a long time. Once done I apply the paint and leave to dry and then comes the rewarding bit of peeling everything off.
