Tools for Basket Makers, Green Woodworkers, Wood Carvers, Potters, etc...
Thank you for visiting my website. Here you can see recent examples of my work in a variety of materials. All of my designs are original and one-offs, though similar pieces can usually be made upon request.

I do not buy in ready made parts for my knives and other tools, instead I prefer the challenge and individualism found in making my own fixtures and fittings. This includes the mosaic pins found on some models.

I do all of my own heat treating and so offer knives with range hardened blades, or blades of specific tempers if you have any special requirements of your knife.

If you have a design for a knife or piece of art, no matter how vague, get in touch with me because I am sure that between us we can create something both beautiful and functional.


Notice

I'm currently rebuilding my workshop and so I will not be able to take on any new work until further notice (hopefully before the summer!). Please do contact me with your requests or designs and I will do what I can to keep you informed!

Thanks for your patience
