About Me

I am an artist craftsman, fabricating a multitude of things in wood over many years. My workshop is simple, dusty and small. A man cave with purpose where I enjoy seeing works come to life in my hands. If I can work by eye without measure I do so, but of course there are times when working to a client's sketch, the measuring stick becomes an essential tool.

I take care to work in sympathy with the nature of many types of wood.

Boat building is one area of my craft where the smallest discrepancy could lead to a ride in a Lifeboat or becoming lost at sea.

My Inuit Kayak I made is now sold to a school in Ullapool, Scotland.

My favourite boat is this light weight runabout, its a small Italian style classic for cruising the estuaries and inshore waters of the South Devon coast. Built during the Covid lockdown, taking approximately 1,100 hours.
