My philosophy is simple: wood is a wonderful natural substance with warmth, colour, character and texture which gives it a unique beauty.
The craftsman’s task is to take that beauty and use it to enhance the object he makes. There should be little need for decoration and rarely any requirement to change the natural colour of the wood.
If it takes a tree more than a hundred years to reach maturity then I will use every last scrap right down to light pulls and key rings.
