sustainable English hardwoods are used to create all my furniture.
And, although my designs are contemporary, the craftsmanship methods
I use are traditional. The Osborne Chair, for example, is formed to
an elegant and ergonomic design with 16 splined joints, attaching
the back to the seat of the chair. My tables are simple, timeless
and unfussy with tabletops frequently including features such as visible,
wedged mortise and tenon joints.
Subtle stainless steel features are often incorporated in my work as seen in the Jasper Table. The juxtaposition of natural wood against the reflective quality of stainless steel adds an intriguing design element. The use of tung oil to finish my furniture is important. It is derived from a Japanese nut and it creates a beautiful and durable finish allowing communication with the wood through the sense of touch. |
