I love simplicity of design and flow,
and the beauty of the native wood. They help to create unique, custom
furniture.
I work with the
very best English native hardwoods. These are normally kiln dried, to
withstand the modern environment of central heating.
The choice is
normally from the following:
-
Ash (if available)
-
Beech - including spalted
-
Bog Oak (difficult to find
nowadays)
-
Elm
-
Oak
-
Sweet Chestnut
-
Sycamore - including figured
or rippled - very pretty to look at
-
Walnut
-
Yew (if available)
Naturally, the wood must be suitable for the particular job; for example,
strong enough to be load-bearing table legs.
