Sometimes I wish I had taken wood work as a subject at school. It must be so rewarding seeing potential in a old tree stump and then being able to bring that vision to life. My Uncle was a keen carpenter and his garage (which he shared with the resident rabbit) always smelt of saw dust and wood oil. As a child I used to love to scratch around in his huge box of off cuts and make little toys out of bits of turned wood, eventually painting and proudly varnishing them.
Research for a new client led me to some really fantastic examples of imaginative woodwork.
