This washstand with a marble top was made as a present for Wilfred's father and is a replica of a traditional design, although this would not usually have the drawer, but would have had a recess for the bowl instead. It is made from American white ash and was stained to match other furniture.

This pair of internal French doors with interesting arched tops are made from steamed beech, which makes the timber very dense grained and hardwearing, although difficult to machine.

A present made for Wilfred's father, this particular clock was in elm with a quartz movement, but Wildfred tells us that he has made several other designs with mechanical movements.

A dresser Wilfred made to his wife's specification in Scottish oak with glazed display cabinets and central open display area.
It was such a hit, that he is now making another to a similar design in American elm!
