Welcome   It never ceases to amaze me how woodworkers can produce the most stunning pieces while working in spaces not much wider than an arm span. Take Chris Alley for instance. There he is, allocated with not much more than a cubicle in a huge tithe barn – admittedly he has a share in machines in another area – making everything from staircases to sideboards with painstaking care and innovation, having found a way to…

Welcome   Was there ever such an adaptable material as wood?

Chris Tribe, a successful maker of fine furniture for many years, was only too keen to go back to school to learn the proper way to make an instrument – actually he made two and nipped round with his camera – and tells us how he got on at West Dean College. Les Thorne turned this huge bowl from air-dried timber…
