What is your favourite Carpenter Oak project you’ve worked on?

Westonbirt tractor shed, purely for the scale and also the construction from start to finish on site in a great setting.

Mostly climbing in Scotland and going to the pub! Also sailing whenever the opportunity arises. I also try to get to as many festivals as I can.

What do you enjoy most about working with wood?

The warmth of oak in the summer sun and how nicely it works.

Where is your favourite in the world?

Spring Green, Wisconsin.

Biography

I’m from Wiltshire originally and have grown up around timber framing and the original Carpenter Oak Colerne yard. After leaving school I followed my dad into the trade and have been in this line of work ever since. I also spent a year in the states working for a timber framing company.
