Old Boat Turned Into Replica
I was given some old oak from a Thames sailing boat that had set on fire and sank in Blakeney Quay (Norfolk) nearly a hundred years ago.
With it I carved a bench from the oak, with a Thames sailing barge on one end.
Lynn klin
This piece is based off a Lynn Kiln excavated in Chelmsford (the same site where I carved Henry VIII). The kiln itself was unearthed but had to remain underground in order to preserve it, but they wanted to have something in order to educate the public.
They called me down in order to carve a replica out of a big oak tree. It was my most challenging carving yet, made from an oak tree and a chainsaw
Kelsale, Suffolk
This piece is a wildlife protection bench on which I carved all sorts of creatures from hedgehogs, to ladybirds, to earwigs. This was a fantastic carving made from a challenging piece of cedar sourced in Saxmundham. The community was so delighted by my work that they asked me to come back and carve the rest of the cedar into a rabbit bench. As well as two lovely badgers who were for their Youth Football team as their mascots.
Owl Totem Pole
Walnut tree in Wisbech now turned into a totem pole
Henry vIII
This was carved in Chelmsford, Essex in Henry VIII’s old former deer park. The tree was possibly an acorn when he was alive. What a great way to use the wood they take out better than wood chipper.
Old oak turned to olympic trophy
This fantastic piece was carved out of an old oak tree that had been presented to a gold medal winner from the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games by none other than Adolf Hitler. The tree itself was hit by lightning and so I turned it into the sailing boat in which the athletes won the event. This historically significant oak tree has now become a lovely piece dedicated to those athletes.
