About Me

After leaving college I started work as an apprentice organ builder, making, restoring and tuning church pipe organs.
I soon found that I liked the woodworking side of the job the most and particularily enjoyed woodcarving. I started my own business in 1993 making wooden toys, games and furniture.

In my first year I made a rockinghorse as a present for a friend and found at that time there was quite a demand for them so my time intially was split between furniture and rocking horses.

I then began to focus on furniture commissions and developing new ideas

The popularity of rocking horses has really taken off recently and you can find a lot of makers on the internet so I don't tend to make many but will always take a commission if i'm not too busy, I would particularily enjoy commissions for original carousel style horses.

I have always had a interest in marionettes puppets, so recently I have used my carving knowledge to make wooden marionettes. I have made and performed puppets for schools, tv, film and music videos.
