Inspired as a youth by a course run by a cabinet maker in Sherwood Forest, John changed career and life style from being a Chartered Surveyor and became a very good Furniture designer- maker. He trained in Oxford and then Hay on Wye. Obviously liking wooded territory, in 1977 he moved to the Forest of Dean. His carpentry workshop has beautiful views and is well worth a visit. John makes an excellent range of bespoke furniture from small boxes to whole room schemes. Tables both large and occasional, chairs, cupboards, desks, folding stools, functional beautiful designs. A very experienced cabinet maker and designer, he likes to work with various timbers, native hardwoods, locally sourced Forest oak, fruit woods especially and is expert in his knowledge. John loves working with different grains and using more than one sort of wood within a piece of furniture.
John is now working on a commission redesning a visitor reception area for the Forestry Commission in the Brecon Beacons using oak and ash. He recently showed a chair that was successfully auctioned at the International Chair Symposium at Westonbirt, Glos.
Happy to work with clients to ensure involvement and agree design & budget whether for a design for a desk, chairs, stools, kitchen or bedroom fitted furniture.
Likes to use mostly local timber and range of Mature hardwoods. Likes to experiment with exotics.
