No. 14
Antique Kitchen Box shelves
I wanted to create the look and feel of a typical rustic old box shelf with improved utility for a kitchen to accommodate books and tall objects underneath like pasta jar and/or a kitchen roll.
This design is free-standing but can be wall mounted too. It sold very quickly so I am making more in the same style with customisable dimensions.
No. 13
Antique Kitchen Spice Rack
I'm really happy with the way this design has turned out. the longest part of the process was breaking apart the crate without damaging the wood too much, and removing all the rusty nails.This rack ( left) quickly sold, so I have made a couple more and plan more as and when I find suitable woods.
This is the first time I've added some wrought iron to my woodwork and I really like the combination. This particular cedar wood is quite light so works really well in contrast to the iron nails on the side and back.
No. 12
Bench Table
A more rustic piece this time in English Oak. I wanted to design and make something that has uses beyond the obvious. Something simple and basic that doesn't need finishing.
Not really a bench or a table, but what's in a name anyway?
I imagine this piece at the end of a bed with a clothes basket underneath for example. Or sitting in a hallway decked with flowers.
Of course you can perch on it, but bear in mind that a bench made for sitting on will usually have a cross rail.
No. 11
Antique Oak block
I've had this piece of oak for over 20 years now. All it needed was a clean up and fresh pair of legs.
This one isn't for sale but if you want something similar I'd be happy to hunt down some equally beautiful wood and make another.
No. 10
'Breese Board' in Scottish Brown Oak
This is my largest Breese Board so far with quite possibly the most naturally stunning slab of exotic brown oak I've ever seen.
If you have a large kitchen, this piece will fit right in and undoubtedly turn heads.
The nested Elm cheeseboard can be used as a serving platter or second utility board for food preparation.

No. 9
Utility Cutting Board in Scottish Brown Oak
The legs are also brown oak with absolutely stunning grain and the drawer has removable and configurable knife/utility separators in brown oak.
Drawer knobs can easily be changed to suit whatever kitchen style.

No. 8
Walnut & Pear Chopping Board and Food Platter
So this is one piece that can only be handmade and I'm really proud of how it has turned out. The slab of walnut on top is beautiful. As you can see from this workshop photo, this product is not quite finished yet. Look out for it on my Etsy shop if you like it. I will have to think of an identity for it first, which isn't easy considering it is both a kitchen chopping board, a charcuterie board and a dining table platter.
No. 7
Walnut & Pear Chopping Board and Charcuterie board
The legs are connected with though tenons which feature on the top as part of the design. I love this board - again what is to you? to me its a food platter, it's a chopping board, it's a bread board, it's a charcuterie board and it's just something incredibly beautiful to put in any kitchen.
This one a variation on the Oak and Elm one I built last month. What I particularly like about this one is that I've used Walnut heartwood for the top and walnut sapwood for the legs - totally different colours that contrast beautifully. I never use wood stains to modify the natural colours of real wood - there really is no need.
No. 6
Walnut Chopping Board with Nested Elm Charcuterie board
This board is conditioned for kitchen life with food safe mineral oil and beeswax.
I'll be very lucky to find a piece of wood with this grain and colouring again. This slab of aged brown oak was a real labour of love for me. It took about 4 weeks to clean it up and stabilise all the splits and cracks that are intrinsic to it's character and beauty.
No. 5
Deep Brown Oak Butchers Block/Chopping Board
It is very heavy which is why it needs large handles on the sides. I couldn't decide which face to use as the top because both main faces are equally stunning. In the end I flattened both faces and made handles that work either way up.
This is the first design iteration of a unique product that I am very proud to have created. I had the oak slab for a few weeks and knew it would make a great chopping board, but it wasn't until I saw is lying on top of a beautiful piece of Elm , that I imagined them combined to form this very practical piece of kitchen furniture.
No. 4
Oak Chopping Board with nested Elm Cheeseboard
As usual, I incorporate traditional woodworking joinery as part of the design. I have the first one I built and love it more and more every day.
This is the second variation on the Chestnut and Oak occasional side table that I built earlier. This time with a chestnut shelf used to geometrically strengthen the piece with pegged tusk tenons. This is the kind of joinery that doesn't need nails, screws or even glue - simple traditional woodwork that is built to last a long time.
No. 3
Chestnut and Oak Occasional / Side table with shelf
The oak legs are joined to the thick chestnut top with wedged through tenons for both strength and visual appeal.

No. 2
Live Edge Solid Oak Side Table
It took a lot of cleaning up but well worth the effort.
Always keeping my eyes open for another diamond in the rough.

This little side table is just about the perfect size for a narrowboat. I didn't realize that when I built it, but thanks to Steve from north London who bought it for his long boat, it is sold to someone who appreciates it fully.
No. 1
