For life's turning points, in wood
There are three objects that show what this craft is for better than almost anything else: one travels a road, another cradles a life at its start, the third accompanies a life out with dignity at its end. I restore carriages, and I make cradles and coffins — each of them by hand, individually.
Three bespoke works
Carriage restoration
I can restore the timber structure, the wheels, the seat and the paintwork alike, so the carriage remains not just an ornament, but usable too.
Bespoke cradle making
Not a piece chosen from a catalogue, but a work designed and built individually — fitting for a family occasion, a birth.
Coffin making
Made to order, by hand, with respect for the family and the departed — one of the most responsible jobs a joiner can take on.
Across the country, and abroad too
For this kind of work, people seek me out not only at home but abroad too — and I take it on, because I speak the language of wood the same way everywhere.
How to get started
Call or write, and tell me about the piece — restoring a carriage, or making a cradle or coffin. I will tell you honestly what I can take on, and give you an individual quote.
