About the wood

I always use English hardwoods, all of which are locally sourced.
These go through a variety of treatments to produce my finished sculptures.

Please note that all of my work is intended for indoor display only. They are not designed for use outdoors.

'Vernised'

This is the name I came up with to describe a method of finish that I have developed over many years of experimentation, and involves the use of dyes, sealing methods and polishing techniques, which enhance my sculptures and also reveal the grain patterns and figuring within the wood. This is especially the case with some of the plainer types of British Hardwoods that I use, which otherwise would be very bland in appearance.
