I accept commissions for all types of work. For all commissioned items I will spend time with you creating a design for exactly what suits you. We can select timbers and finishes together.
How long will it take? This is entirely dependent upon whether you want a simple box of a specific size (maybe only a few days) or a large and elaborate item of furniture (several months). The only way to find out both time and price is to contact me and discuss your needs.
Below is a listing of selected commissions.
