Church pulpit balustrade

You wait for ages and then two stair projects come along at once…

The balustrade shown here was made from reclaimed pitch pine, making use of existing materials and using something that is close in age to the existing woodwork. The church itself is an ‘A’ rated listed building. As the wood ages it will darken to suit the existing pulpit.

Bed in elm

A king size bed in elm. A nice piece of burr elm was chosen for the footboard. The headboard is set at an angle similar to that of a chair so that the occupant can sit up in bed in comfort.

Dining Table – Sycamore with elm.

Here is my tribute to the late Alan Peters; the man who originally designed this table. I have added a few wee touches to it to make it my own but on the whole it was made almost exactly to the original design. The idea for this piece was inspired by the need for a dining table in our own house and I thought it would be interesting to make something that a highly regarded furniture designer/maker developed (in 1968!). There is a lot of detail in this relatively small table but everything is there for a reason.
