More plywood

 

                      Dad made these from birchply using its natural bend in held in hoops or slots.

Here's some work he made in the 80's

These stools\ tables are great . He made lots of them and we have some at home they have lasted well              and are older than me.

chairs made from cutting a bath in half

                                      He found this bath almost new on a skip in the road,
                                      cut it in half and made a frame in douglas fir wood.
                                      The bottom of the back leg is curved so you can rock away.
                                      It makes a great outdoor seat. Thats my sister on our roof.

Bench's

 Going through my dads portfolio I found he has made a great collection of benches. For memorials, reception areas and houses.

             This was made for a large reception area. Its about 5m long made of birchplywood.
                                                           you can sit either side

Guitar stand

My dad has made a lovely guitar stand, in cherry wood. He used a brush as a plectrum holder. After making a cello stand he realised there were lack of elegant instrument stands. And hopefully this is the start of many more. 

See the brush!

Made with cork on the base. 

Hall Furniture

Coat and Hat Stand.

This is a neat and very beautiful solution for hanging your outer gear and your umbrella. 

The shadows remind me of a rake.

Made from Oak and copper.

This is a waiting table

Cello Music Stand. You can now buy these from www.thejollydesign.com

This was a commissioned cello stand, which is made of maple. To deal with the lack of space in small flat's he suggested to combine the cello and music stand. 

          

Normally you have to buy a rubber disk which attaches to a chair, which you then put the cello pin into to protect the floor.  He designed rubber base which the pin goes into and is part of the stand.

Valet Chair

Hello and welcome to my dads Blog. This is the start of something new! Well for him. 

As we all know blogging has been around for years but he only found out about it about 3 months ago. 

. 

This new design inspired by Hans Vegner, a famous danish designer. 

You put your jacket on the back, the seat lifts up to fold your trousers on,

 and under the seat is a box for your bits! 

He has called it "Saint Hans"
