Bobbin Hooks -

Made from UK grown coppiced Hazel and Ash, the Bobbin Hook doubles as a door stop and a coat hook.

This project makes use of young hazel growth and utilises the natural forking shapes to create unique hooks. The hazel is selected for its shape and character, coppiced, stripped of its bark and connected to an Ash foot by a wedged tenon.

Coppicing is an ancient type of woodland managementwhich involves felling trees at the base to create a stool which encourages new shoots and growth. It is an environmentally beneficial practice, creating many habitats for flora and fauna.

If you are interested in purchasing a Bobbin Hook - please DM me.

Made and developed as part of the Create - Rethinking Wood for Furniture Programme at the Snowdon School of Furniture within the King’s Foundation.

Splits and Knots

This project takes ‘defects’ in timber boards and stabilises them by using them as points of structure. It uses full length, characterful boards with large knots and splits. Splits, which can occur during the drying process, are usually cut off or sometimes stabilised with a ‘bow tie’ or ‘butterfly joint’. Knots are where branches have grown from the centre of the trunk. They are a common occurrence in UK timber as a result of under-managed woodlands. The joints I have designed represent new ways of stabilising splits and making good use of the knots in the timber. The joint illustrated in this table work by oak pins traveling from the surface of the table through, all the way into the leg stopping the split from increasing in size. The knots were then machined out and used for a leg to be tenoned through, pins stop the leg from twisting. The two approaches work together to form strong, stable joints and allows the table legs to be placed in a non-traditional way.

Another studio another chair. Made at @tmdc.esThe chair uses Pine from a discarded bed frame. Couldn’t walk past the finger joints.

Still deciding on the finish, maybe a stain….

Worms did the hard part - coffee table using structural beams which had been infested with wood worms.

After processing and planking the beams, the boards are glued and holes filled with a concoction of paint and filler. More on the go.

Yer nice one that

The baler stool - recycled after use.

Last September, I took part in a travelling exhibition - ‘A Seat At The Table’ - created by @designeverything_org over London Design Festival. The brief was to design a stool which could be transported in the back of a Luton Van to various locations across London and used in a series of community workshops and activities.

Taking inspiration from the Luton Van, and the fact the exhibition would only last a week, I wanted to make something that could be recycled at the end of the exhibition. Cardboard was the obvious material of choice.

The baler stool represents a low cost, unique and creative form of furniture, takingcardboard waste and extending its use.
