Corner bookcase unit in Scottish Ash made to order in 1991. It allowed
us to give a contemporary "twist" to a traditional dresser design by taking
it around the corner of the room, turning a modern concept (the wall unit)
into a classic piece of furniture. The hexagonal frame for the corner cabinet
provided us with an interesting challenge while the olive grain in the
timber allowed us to "bookmatch" the door' panels to good effect.

Fitted kitchen and wall panelling made in 1993 for the adjacent room,
reached through a glazed double door. The dining area is separated from
the kitchen area by a long counter; the top, in 30mms solid ash, has a
wonderful olive grain while the timber selected for the panels has a lighter
colour, to maintain a feeling of space and lightness. The mouldings
match those used on the bookcase, and similar swan-necked handles (with
a plainer backplate for hygienic reasons) are used.

Oak sideboard made in 1990 to match the base of an existing dresser.
Almost an exact copy of the original (itself a reproduction). |

Dining suite in Scottish Ash, made in 1994. Clean lines (no moulding
other then a gentle rounding over), careful timber selection (specially
the two tops and the panel fronts) and a few subtle touches (the same design
appearing as bracket below the tops and by the feet then reincarnating
as a handle) make this one of my favourites. |

The "Westfield" oak table, a refectory table stripped to the bare essentials,
was made as a display piece to demonstrate the beauty of Scottish Oak and
the modern potential of traditional design. The price, £500,
helped us to dispel the myth that hand made furniture is prohibitively
expensive. |
