Festival: 2018

Individually hand-crafted guitars using a range of materials including locally grown and reclaimed timber. Made entirely from scratch, each instrument is designed and created around the customers individual requirements, and to their exacting specifications including sound, look and playability. I take inspiration from each individual piece of wood or, in some cases the tree itself. By looking at a tree there can be indications of what may be unearthed once the timber is milled, the tree can tell you what unique properties it may possess!
