This ancient yew was salvaged from the Abberley
Hall woods, and from this I have made some beautifully figured pieces,
but most of these have now all been sold. |

The left hand picture shows the 400 year old dead yew tree
in Stoke Prior churchyard.
On the
right is the Walnut tree at Heightington which was blown down in a gale
in 2001.

This Acacia tree at Sugarbrook Manor in
Bromsgrove was leaning dangerously over the house and had to be cut down. |

I am mainly working with unseasoned wood. I
have to part-turn my items and then leave them in a dry environment to stabilise.
This is a photo of the roof space which I use for this
"seasoning", and it receives a gentle heat from the Aga
which is sited below.
The right hand photo is a dead walnut tree at Keepers Cottage
Ockeridge. |
