Welcome!

Based in Great Bourton, north Oxfordshire, Martin has been practising traditional woodwork since 2000. Initially focussing on making rustic furniture and field items such as gates and hurdles, he now produces hand-carved wooden spoons, bowls and platters.

In addition, Martin uses a traditional pole lathe to make a variety of domestic items and other products.

Using locally sourced timber and traditional tools and wood craft techniques Martin aims to produce high quality items that are functional and yet have an inherent beauty in both form and material. While such an approach is not suitable for modern mass production, each item is unique.

Enthusiastic to promote the practice and appreciation of traditional crafts, Martin is available for demonstrations, talks and spoon carving courses.

Forthcoming Exhibitions & Demonstrations

In partnership with the Sylva Foundation and the OneOak Project, Martin will be demonstrating during Art in Action at Waterperry Gardens between 15 - 18 July 2010.
