85 Fathoms

Whilst the studio door may have crept shut, a new door to creativity appears to have swung open. I hope this book helps anyone that reads it 🙂

Took a flight of fancy with this one, chiefly because it's for me 🙂. Conceived as a free standing bookshelf in Ash with details of Iroko and rosewood. Should work well .

The grain pattern and colour of the old pieces of sapele used in this table are simply gorgeous. Paired with a centre strip of ash with a trio of ash and sapele butterfly keys and sat on ash legs it's simply lovely 😊

Two new pieces to replenish the studio stock following the Art Market. A bow lamp in teak, ash and sapele and a narrow display trestle in elm, ash, teak and sapele. All available to view and or buy from the studio.

Last piece for 2023. Four legged stool in iroko and ash. Lovely in it's simplicity. 😊

A big thank you to everyone who came into the studio at the weekend. An extra thanks to everyone who bought from me . There was a lovely atmosphere throughout which all made for a great weekend. All the very best . Darren 😊

The last piece completed just in time for the Art Market this weekend at the Ropewalk. The studio has some nice pieces to offer along with a collection of smaller items 🙂

There's nothing like Christmas to generate the need for some product diversity 😃

A trio of micro tables are the latest creations for the up and coming Christmas Art market at the Ropewalk. Standing at around 250mm tall they are perfectly sized for that all important wine glass or coffee cup .

Beavering away creating some new pieces to kick start this year's studio season. All available to view / buy at the Ropewalk Studio. (studio 15 ) . Can also be viewed at the up and coming Christmas Art market early in December.

Deceptively time consuming to make and paint but rewarding all the same. This is a curved front decorative storage unit to match the canopy made earlier .

Another different commission which evoked memories of building sailing dinghies back in the 90's. This is a decorative canopy made for a local care home dinning room. Deceptively tricky to make but very rewarding.
