Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.

Obscurity from a Cherry tree that stood on the boundary between gardens in Craigshill, Livingston. The neighbours wanted to erect a fence, which meant the tree had to be removed. This unique piece is made from three sections of the tree and demonstrates how diverse the wood can be when sourced from different areas within the same tree.  

The mushroom bowl was made from a branch left behind at the Thrip-mere car park area in the Pentland Hills. The exterior shape and colouring came from the Mushroom / toad stools  scattered around the area. Having turned the log, I believe it came from a silver birch tree.   

Turned from a limb of a Hawthorne tree taken down by foresters to clear a path for a larger tree to fall on the banks of the Murieston Water in West Lothian. The bowl features a band of Titan green sea shells and green soap stone which I feel will give it a definite presence in home.

This bowl is from a Mature Birch tree and has beautiful makings. I was given this log from a friend who thought it was only fit forfire wood.  The inlay on the rim is made from Titan green sea snail shells which brings another decorative edge to bowl.

Attractive Spalted Sycamore, with inlaid crushed Amethyst makes this a beautiful decorative art peace. The tree formed part of a number of Sycamores that were cleared from a building site near to Weems  in the Kingdom of Fife.

A beautiful piece of Elm. I Purchased it from a sawmill and furniture maker near Auchengray, a small village in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The tree had been cut down in the 1990s to help try and prevent the spread of Dutch Elm disease. The bowl rim has been enhanced with copper and sea shells and will make a wonderful fruit bowl.
