About Me
I'm a part-time woodworker from the UK but have been living in Djursland, Denmark, for many years. Having now filled my and my family's houses with furniture, I decided to start to sell some pieces (see the for sale page). I work with hand tools for fine work, but use modern machines to mill the wood and cut to size.
If you want me to make something, then please get in touch. If I make a commission, you will get a photo journal of the build, as in the example here.

This table was a commission for a small kitchen with oak surrounds. It is a small 60 x 110cm solid oak table with a 4cm top and minimal trestle so as not to get in the way of your legs when sitting at it. For the same reason, the stretcher is set high and a bit curved.

Some other projects
This was a badly damaged oak table in need of some tlc. The table comes from Fleetwood in the UK, from the early 1970s. The final finish is tung-oil based, and should last another 50 years.
After refurbishment
I January I finished building my new workshop. Then I made this new mallet for myself to celebrate 😄
Its oak and ash.
A few other pieces I've made.
A gift for my daughter in law
An ash long table for the patio. The wood came from an ash tree in the garden.
My first coffee table, solid oak, simple design. Now 10 years old but looks just the same.
This, like all but the long table above, is solid oak. Very very heavy, but I hope it should last a lifetime. I made this for our house.
