Knicknacks

Listed here are the other items I have in stock, ready for immediate delivery. For more details on each, simply click on the image.

[tall crane] Tall Crane hand carved from Teak. A piece of off-cut left over after sizing some planks. The shape was almost crying out to be released from the timber so I helped it on its way. I tried to keep it simple and think it turned out to be quite elegant. It stands 75cm high and I finished it with a few coats of clear beeswax polish
[elephant]
Elephant, made in pine and stained with a water based colouring.
[sheep]
Juggling sheep cut from Beech and painted in child safe acrylics. This could be what is expected of you by the Boss (Wife).
[table lamp] Table lamp constructed entirely with American Black Walnut with a narrow banding around the top third. The lamp is fitted with a moulded plug and comes complete with energy saving light bulb. It measures in at 14cm x 14cm x 30cm high.
[small duellists]
Small duellists made from pine and painted in child safe paints. I imagined them being used as either a talking point on the shelf or mantelpiece or the larger and heavier as bookends.
[large duellists]
Large duellists made from beech and painted in child safe paints. I imagined them being used as either a talking point on the shelf or mantelpiece or the larger and heavier as bookends.
[black walnut stand with banding] Black Walnut with banding. This small stand is made from American Black Walnut and has a decorative band of hardwood around its edge. It measures 14cm x 13.5cm and 4.5cm high.
[black walnut stand]
Black Walnut Stand made from American Black Walnut and has a chamfered top edge. It was made with two pieces edged together and shows how the grain and colouring of the timber can vary hugely.
[watch your tail]
Watch your tail! This came from an article in a magazine talking about the facts of business life. When you get to the top there is always somebody behind you waiting to take your place. The grain on the back board gave the sea effect using water based wood dyes.
[night on the tundra]
Night on the tundra. The background of this picture is a piece of ply that had the most beautiful grain pattern which was asking to be highlighted. No paint was used, purely water based dyes that is why the moose have a transparency about them.
This tray is constructed from the centre section of the Yew plank I obtained. It was too narrow to use for box making as I am not keen on miniatures.
Made from Sapele which has the dubious pleasure of being known by some as ‘poor man’s mahogany’. The turned spindle legs were salvaged from an old staircase and are pegged and glued to the under side. Please don’t sit on it as it is not designed to take heavy objects.
