About Us

Natures fragility and strength

These are unique pieces with only a limited number being produced each year. There is a selection of his exhibition pieces below that are for sale. If they have sold or you would like to commission something similar please contact him.

 


The Process

 Greg works hard to collect wood from local tree surgeons that would have been used as fire wood.  The wood is then 'turned green', this means whilst it is still wet. The shape of the object depends on the wood and/or what has been commissioned. The wood is then turned to a thickness of 2mm and allowed to dry.  

Sandblasting

 When dry the wood is sandblasted. This has the effect of removing the soft spring growth leaving a lace like effect. This can only be done with oak which has medullary rays which go across the growth rings. 

The Finish

The oak is often left with a natural finish, it can be ebonised or various colour stains are used if they enhance the appearance of the wood and the grain.

Wood turned art

Greg has spent years perfecting this technique. In fact, there is only one other person in the world producing similar sort of work
