On Etsy since 2015
  • Every piece will start off something like this, sketching the general outline on a suitable piece of wood...
  • The original shape is cut out using a bandsaw...
  • These are then roughly shaped using traditional wood carving tools...
  • The form is carefully refined by hand before undergoing several stages of sanding...
  • After the final sanding the pieces are finished with a coat of natural wax, bringing out the full beauty of the wood.

Welcome to my Etsy shop...

After many years of running my own dedicated website I have decided to consolidate it and use Etsy instead. Here you will find a constant selection of recent carvings which are available to browse or purchase if desired, if you see something you like and would like to enquire about the possibility of having a similar item carved from an alternative timber please get in touch and I'll see what I can do. Please remember I work alone and carve each piece individually, my stock of timber is limited and constantly evolving so depending on the request there might be a long delay before the item is finished.

My carvings are also available through a number of selected contemporary art galleries which are located predominantly in the UK, if you would like information regarding your nearest outlet please let me know and I'll send details.

When creating the little pieces I inevitably end up with occasional 'seconds', pieces that have natural 'imperfections' in the wood such as small cracks or knots which are uncovered during carving, these items are now included in my 'Chutes de Bois' series and are priced accordingly.

I do hope you enjoy looking at the items I have carved, working with this material means no two pieces are ever the same to carve and I never lose enthusiasm to get started on a new piece of wood in order to discover exactly what is hiding inside...

    Yes, that's me, sharpening my carving gouges by the fire...

    Pest Control (retired), Lap Warmer, 2002 - 2016

    Unglum (Un-Glum or "Happy") turned up in the barn many years ago, and after sampling a morsel of the evening's sausage casserole decided to stick around. She is a particularly grumpy (hence the name) half-wild cat, but very lovable all the same :)

Thank you for taking the time to look at my Etsy shop, all the pieces you see here have been hand carved by myself from start to finish, the designs are original and authentic and the carvings are high quality items which are stamped with my maker's mark.

Accepted payment methods

Accepts Etsy Gift Cards and Etsy Credits
Returns and exchanges
I want you to be happy with your purchase! :)

If you are not entirely satisfied - for whatever reason - please return the item to me and I'll refund your purchase price in full, no questions asked. Unfortunately I am unable to refund any shipping charges incurred.
Payment
As I am based in France I list my items in EUROs, the price shown on the listings will reflect your local or chosen currency. Etsy does add a small currency conversion charge if items are purchased in a different currency, this will be included in the price you see listed.

If you would like to group items in order to reduce shipping costs please let me know at the time of purchase, I can reserve multiple items for you for shipping at a later date. I ask that the first item is paid in full (including shipping), and subsequent purchases can be paid for at the time of shipping by prior arrangement.

Please pay promptly for your purchases. If you expect there to be a delay in payment, or if you would prefer to pay be cheque please contact me to let me know.
Shipping
I'm happy to ship WORLDWIDE and will always combine shipping, so you only pay for a single item regardless how many items are shipped in a single consignment (this should be calculated at checkout). If items are paid for separately Etsy will charge shipping at each checkout but if the items are going to be sent in the same consignment the additional shipping will be refunded by myself. If your country is not listed for shipping please contact me.

All items will be posted within 1 working day after receipt of payment whenever possible. I have been known to trek miles through the snow to get to a post office when my local one has been unable to open! Please rest assured that if there is any delay in getting the pieces shipped I'll let you know.

I charge cost price for shipping using La Poste, the French national postal service, or Chronopost if upgraded shipping is offered.

I will attempt to ship very small items by "Priority Airmail" using a padded envelope, which usually takes 1-2 days within France, 5-7 days within Europe, and 7-15 days for the rest of the world. Only a handful of items are eligible to be shipped by this method due to size restrictions and the nature of the work.

Everything over 3cm wide will be shipped via "Colissimo International" ("Colissimo" for shipping within France) which is tracked, insured and will need to be signed for. Within Europe this usually takes 5-7 days, everywhere else usually takes 7-14 days, and on very rare occasions parcels can take longer if there are delays at customs. A tracking number will be provided at the time of shipping.

If Upgraded Shipping is selected at checkout (where offered) the item will be sent by "Chronopost International" which takes 1-2 days for Europe and 2-4 days for the rest of the world.

All pieces will be carefully packed, I have many years of experience and will post items using the most appropriate size boxes. Sometimes smaller boxes will be placed inside a large padded envelope as La Poste insist the shipping label is attached on one side of the package without folding the edges.

Unless requested I will not include payment information or invoice receipts when shipping the purchased items, so if they are being sent as a gift the recipient will not see the price paid for the carving. If a personal message for the recipient is desired please let me know at the time of purchase and I'll be happy to oblige.

Please note that Any customs duties and taxes are the buyer's responsibility.
Additional policies and FAQs
I am always happy to consider custom orders, please let me know what you're looking for and I'll see what I can do. Please be prepared to wait a long time for unusual requests, and there are many things I am unable to carve due to my carving methods & tooling.

And finally, please remember it's only me here (well, me and the cat), and I'm only human! I do everything I can to ensure listings are accurate, and I endeavour to reply to emails swiftly. If you see any errors in my listings please let me know and I'll amend it asap.

If you'd like any further information on current projects, or just to see what I'm up to, why not head over to my Facebook page and say Hello :)
