Ah pyramids, why? Well I see timber as a precious

Ah pyramids, why? Well I see timber as a precious material. It comes from one of the planet's most generous organisms. Standing there, sentinel & immobile, offering sanctuary and protection, for all who seek it, without discrimination, whilst all the while pumping out our life force, oxygen. You can add to that their 365 days a year, variant beauty. I aim for others to see it in that same precious light so I embellish its surfaces to emphasis its jewel-like properties, to add value to it & take it beyond a mere surface and into a space that shows you it's beautiful all the way through. The pyramid allows you to see four planes at once, it catches & reflects light & does so differently at different times of day. Arguably it adds a sculptural sensuality, albeit a tad spikily. We do make some without and others with it. I know I can go on & on.... & one day I'll 'share' other insights into what I see as recycled sunshine & rainwater, a gift of a material, about which, after a fifty year love affair with it, I can talk about for eons..... I must add that today is a sad day for us, our queen & her family & I offer them all our sincerest condolences. #thankyouforyourservice #thankyouforyourduty #oneardsupwardsandbeyond

The primroses peep from the scorched grasses of wi

The primroses peep from the scorched grasses of winter or stand ablaze against the newly green roadside banks. The white wood anemones stirs my spirit whilst the green carpet of dogs mercury brightens the woodland floor. Time to rest & take stock after deliverying these chairs to their new homes. Some sit around a 'Plectrum' table with one curve to the window seat & a centenary curve into the room. The tall backed 'poise' chair, in oiled tiger oak, offers a sentinel greeting beside a 'canti 3' hallway piece delivered at Christmas. A satisfactory union of festivals. Happy Easter to all. #happyeaster #eastertide #supportpeopleinsheds #hymntotheartisan #makersandmaking #timetorest #timetotakestock #chocolateindulgence #visitfamilyinthesunshine #bekindtoeachother #hangoninthere #brekonthroughtotheotherside #lovenpeace

A mid week glimpse at our latest piece, a bow-fronted, chip-carved sideboard in 'tiger oak'. Designed by Matthew Burt & made in his Wiltshire workshop by master maker Dan Church & senior maker Harry Rymer, twenty & eight years into their making lives, which shines through in this exquisitely made piece. #supportpeopleinsheds #supportmaking #supportdesignermaking #supportdesignermakers #britishmaking #brithishdesign #britishtimber #studiofurniture #bespokefurniture #smallbatchmaking #smallisbeautiful #artcraftanddesign #breakonthroughtotheotherside #midweekinstatwitch #lovenpeace

The 'Poise' dining chair is born. I've been workin

The 'Poise' dining chair is born. I've been working on this piece, with senior maker Rick Long, for a couple of years. Its aim is to complement our 'Poise' Carver chair. Both are laminated & then sensually sculpted. It has a robust and capable join between the seat & back assembly & the laminated 'sprung' legs. When I designed this piece I had a greyhound, straining at the leash in mind, poised ready for action. It is sensual, sculptural & comfortable. The compound curves evoke the body & the chair's desire to accommodate it comfortably, capably & beautifully. Over to you. #supportpeopleinsheds #hymntotheartisans #britishmakersandmaking #bespokefurniture #britishdesign #studiofurniture #britishtimber #commissionfurniture #investlocally #inveslocallyand globally #visitwiltshiresoon #wecantoucheachothersoon #breakonthroughtotheotherside #bekindtoeachother #love peace #happyfriday #letitbelightagain

Side tables, surfaces, sculptural shapes, designed

Side tables, surfaces, sculptural shapes, designed & made in my workshop over the last forty years, all bought to life by what the client puts upon them. I am constantly given joy by how the client 'animates' my work. This is part of the motor that keeps me reaching for the sketchbook & drawing board. I convey this to the makers in our workshop, we'll put part of our soul into the realisation of a design but its the client's taking possession of it that will breath the life into it. It is that synergy that rounds the circle, that completes the soul. Those are the essential ingredients to ensure that a piece will inspire daily joy in its use for the present client and their descendants. #happyfriday #supportpeopleinsheds #hymntotheartisan #seeminglysimple #sculpturalysensual #britishmakersandmaking #studiofurniture #commissionfurniture #bespokefurniture #britishtimbers #artcraftanddesign #breakonthroughtotheotherside #hangoninthere #thankgoditsfriday #helpeachother #lovenpeace #pleasedontlitter

I love Friday evenings when the workshop transform

I love Friday evenings when the workshop transforms itself from bustling energy to quiet serenity, gently resting with its efforts in stasis, in various states of progress. This is such a precious time for me, a time of contemplation admittedly with my insatiable darting, eye flicking over the detail, checking it's on track with our intent & design. That restlessness is the designer's lot, part of the fuel driving them & me. I shall now move into thank God it's Friday mode, take the dog for a walk & then pull a cork. #thankgoditsfriday #supportpeopleinsheds #hymntotheartisan #britishmaking #allpowertobritishmakers #artcraftanddesign #britishbespoke #commissionfurniture #supportbritishmaking #supportbritishmakers #bekindtoeachother #breakonthroughtotheotherside #lovenpeace
