Hand, material, patience

Made with
grain & glow.

A maker who turns raw material into objects with character: timber, joinery, hand tools, measured lines and the warm evidence of the workshop.

1:1
01 / About

The mark of
the maker.

I treat craft as both discipline and visual language: honest materials, visible decisions and objects designed to become more interesting with age.

"I leave enough of the hand in the object for you to feel how it was made."

Material first

Timber, clay, leather and found materials selected for tactile quality, provenance and how they respond to the hand.

Precision, not perfection

Measured joinery and careful finishing create structure while small human variations keep each piece alive.

Objects with a second life

Repair, restoration and low-waste making sit alongside new commissions.

02 / Craft language

Four ways
the hand speaks.

Instead of generic percentage bars, expertise is shown as a vocabulary of techniques and material instincts.

01

Joinery

Mortise & tenon, dovetails, scarf joints and clean structural connections.

02

Shaping

Carving, turning, sanding and controlled hand-tool work that follows the material.

03

Finishing

Oil, wax, burnishing and layered surface treatments that let texture remain visible.

04

Restoration

Thoughtful repair that preserves patina, proportion and the story already inside an object.

03 / Selected work

Objects that
hold a trace.

A compact showcase of commissions, studio experiments and restoration work, each framed by material, technique and the reason it needed to exist.

Commission / 01

Walnut reading chair

A sculpted lounge chair built around a quiet joint vocabulary, hand-shaped arms and a low-sheen oil finish that keeps the walnut grain luminous.

Restoration / 02

Patina table

Stabilized a century-old tabletop while retaining tool marks and age-darkened edges.

Studio study / 03

Grain vessels

A series of turned forms exploring how one board changes character across the cut.

04 / Workshop process

From rough
to resolved.

The process is deliberately visible. Clients see the thinking, tests and material decisions that shape the final object.

STEP 01

Listen

Understand the use, space, material preference and emotional reason behind the commission.

STEP 02

Mark

Sketch, measure and prototype. The first cuts happen only after proportion and construction are understood.

STEP 03

Make

Shape, join, refine and finish with the hand remaining present in the final surface.
