All my work comes from fallen trees around the Galloway Hills of South West Scotland, but mostly from the Noggin, a small patch of woodland on my own property.

I remove trees which have died and fallen or been blown down in the high winds, take them to my workshop and divide them into manageable pieces. The pieces are then seasoned for 12 months before I hand turn them into individual ‘one-off’ art forms and bowls. Each has a different grain, some with spalting or knots and natural edges – I work with these characteristics, letting the wood dictate, to retain a natural, organic feel and produce unique works of art.

Finished pieces are then stored in a humidity controlled environment for a minimum of six months.

This lengthy preparation and storage reduces cracking and warping, however, please be aware that wood is a natural material and is susceptible to moisture and heat creating possible movement over time. It is advisable to keep pieces out of direct sunlight and away from radiant heat sources.

Colours are representational – what you see on your screen may not match exactly the finished piece.
