The Bud puts down roots

This is "The Bud" a sculpture designed and made for Thorp Perrow arbouretum. It was a great day installing the piece, the Lord and Lady were really pleased and all the hard work seemed worthwhile. I hope it stands as
a testimony to the beauty of nature for many years to come

Conservatory at Ty Cerrig

On this project I was involved with making the timber frame during the summer of 2009. All the mortices, tennons and lap joints were cut by hand and pegged from the inside. All the rebates and chamfers were done with a circular saw and then cleaned up with a hand plane.

So good it made the papers!


Leeds College of Arts students have a winning way with wood
This is my latest project which was featured in Saturdays Yorkshire evening post. I'm pictured here with Lord and Lady Ropner, who own the arbouretum where the sculpture will stay.
The instilation date for this piece is the 26th of March so stay tuned for pics of the completed work in its final location.
