Crafting beautiful and useful things in timber
After a 10 year career as a structural engineer I’ve broken out from behind a desk and set out on a journey to craft beautiful and useful things in timber.
I am now bringing the same attention to detail, love of elegant simplicity and a need to do the best job I can to making beautiful and useful things out of timber.
So what do I do? From beautiful picket fences to hand build cabinets, clever storage solutions to sheds and car ports if its custom carpentry you want look no further.
Based in beautiful south east Northumberland, I work across the north east and can travel further afield for the right project.
