Carpenter / Joiner / Furniture Maker

Heat in the grain.

I build furniture, fitted interiors and architectural details with a warm, tactile point of view: measured precisely, finished patiently, made to stay.

The maker's note

Make the material part of the story.

Good carpentry is quiet until the light catches an edge.

My practice sits between traditional joinery and contemporary interiors. I look for honest construction, strong proportions and details that reward a second look. Timber is never just a finish: its grain, movement and warmth shape the object from the first cut to the final rub of oil.

04 / The reel

From sketch to settled.

01 / LISTEN

Read the room

Understand how the space is used, what needs to change and what should remain.

02 / DRAW

Find the line

Resolve proportions, joints, materials and installation details before the first cut.

03 / MAKE

Work the grain

Machine preparation meets handwork, dry fitting, edge tuning and finish testing.

04 / SET

Leave it right

Install cleanly, tune every reveal and hand over a piece ready for everyday life.

05 / Start a commission

Bring me the room, the timber or the idea.

Tell me what you want built, where it belongs and what you want it to feel like. We can start with the practical details.
