WoodClox

In the workshop of any fine furniture maker, there is always a collection of off-cuts of beautiful timber, and my workshop is no different. It would be a crime to put these wonderful pieces of top quality timber in the wood burner, they need to be treasured and used.

I started out by making them into small boxes and turned pieces on my lathe. Then one momentous day, I made a clock for the workshop wall… a quartz movement screwed to a scrap piece of MDF, the markings made with a permanent felt marker. It really wasn’t a big leap to start adding beautiful clocks to my range of small accessories. While I still use off-cuts from time-to-time, I now buy timber specifically for my clocks; I select it just as carefully as I would for any piece of fine furniture.

My Woodclox shop enables me to break away from the constraints of a client’s brief, to offer my own range of exciting contemporary designs that I hope will stand out from the crowd. They are all beautifully made, they look great, and they can also be used every day in the real world.

I am always looking for new design ideas, and as I expand my range, my aim is to ensure that my Woodclox range will comprise a blend of contemporary designs and re-imagined classics, so there is something for everyone.
