Not such a Wacky story.

Chapter 1. The unnameable

The story goes that an unmasked and very nippy subject whizzed by through the city, late in a light night, and broke into the local prison, the city’s zoo.
Like the sort, this prison captured and kept all sorts of Wacky Woodies, for no apparent reason other than outrageous Sapiens traditions. Many have even been born in this place and have never felt, seen, smelt or touched their great-grandwoodies’s place of origin. The Land.

MotoMouse C2 was different.
She was born in the city too, but had a vast knowledge of its streets, arrows, forgotten cul de sacs, and speed limits across the busy lanes.
She seemed to know between wrong and right, (using logic was her thing) and was able to act accordingly, but crucially, she saw the important connection between freedom and happiness. So, that night, she decided to quietly visit the unnameable place.

This is how it all began.

Meet MotoMouse C2.

A thoughtful wedding present for the newlyweds in their new home. The knot in the centre of this shared key bowl was filled using tin and a soldering iron, welding this twosome together and thus giving a bright spark-like shine.

What a poet.

Talos Awakes sculptures.

I’ve been making a set of 12 plinths for some really creative sculptures done by Simon Fearnhamm, proprietor of Raven Armoury who along with his sons, create some really high end hand-made metal work. This ranges from swords, axes and knives, to (certainly different) furniture and sculptures showing a real talent in accuracy and intricacy.
It’s been great fun working with and for him, although I can imagine that from the outside, the meeting of two perfectionists was sometimes tedious…

More of his work? Check him out in his website at Raven Armoury.

If you like noise, trembling inner-sides, Top Gun and iconic British jets, then here is a very important job collaboration that I’m doing with Simon Fearnhamm. You can follow it from this link.

Have a look at the plinths as they are being done here!

The Broad Reader, made in European oak with walnut drawer sides and details.

This bookcase was made to fit my personal collection of design, furniture and art books (plus other favourites).

Hand-cut dovetail joints in the three drawers and handmade square holes to fit the walnut square dowels. It works nicely giving a contrasting feature of the round drawer handles.

A handmade door handle, also in walnut, opens a spacious compartment with a shelf.

Will fit tall books, tiny books and fatties. About 140 of them.

Dimensions:

Height: 2.1m.

Width: 66cm.

Depth: 32cm.

This coffee table is the original design of the Zero Eight table, with a glass top and fine hand-cut marquetry.
As usual, cherry giving very pleasant surprises with its grain, and so this table was a pleasure to work on.
The wood used for the top frame had a dead knot (rotten) which was cleaned out and filled with clear resin, giving a glass effect finish looking right inside the wood.
The veneers are walnut burr and maple and the frame is made in solid English cherry. It was a very old and forgotten bit of lumber that I got from college in my student years. Those were the days…

The veneers are scorched with very hot sand to give a 3-d illusion. View more pictures of how it was made here.

Dimensions:

Length: 99cm

Width: 61cm

“Ego” Coasters are drink mats made in solid hardwood that create a 3D illusion as you play around with my logo, creating a focal point on the table.

These coasters are made in oak, cherry and olive ash, but I have plenty of timber and I can make them in all sorts of wood species.

Another set gone. Another tea served.
