Chair Making
I have a love for chair design and making. The chair is the piece of furniture we interact with most, a good chair must be comfortable, strong enough to last generations of use,
light enough to move around and attactive to look at.
​
The chairs I design and make are based on the tried and tested techniques of traditional British Vernacular seating. I make both sets and unique one off pieces of furniture.
I source all the timber for my chairs locally, felling many of the trees I use myself.
All the turnings, legs, spindles etc, are made from sections split out of green (fresh felled) logs. These are thoroughly dried before the chair is assembled.
​
All my chairs come with a lifetime guarantee.
​
I also do interesting bespoke commissions including, beds, garden installation, seating, and one-off pieces of furniture.
​
Since starting to work three days a week as senior tutor at the cart shed, having a full order book, and being an on call fire fighter, I am only taking on interesting commissions. but please do drop me a message if you'd like something special made.

Dining / side chairs
I make traditional, rustic and contempory dining chairs with a choice of timbers and finishes.
From £150-300
Double Bow-backs and
Arm Bow Comb-backs.
These chairs are made from turned parts.
They can be at the head of the table, the living room or at the fire side.
I can make them to standard patterns or customised to suit you.
£450-650
Free form/ Welsh stick
When making freeform chairs I select wood with natural curves, split them in half so they match, then hand shape with a draw knife.
£350-700
Special occasion chairs!
I can engrave or pyrography names, dates etc onto chairs for weddings, retirements, new borns.
Most designs can have rockers added!
Or bring an idea I'll see what I can do.
