Upcycled Wood Furniture

This is a collection of furniture pieces made from locally sourced unused wood from the Welsh valleys. Alongside the wood I used a hybrid of metals and yarn to create the furniture pieces. I believe by doing this I am giving the wood a new life, a new use and meaning. All the pieces are made by hand and produced with no fittings into the wood. The designs were kept simple to emphasis this and display the woods natural beauty. This is the main reason I choose to work with wood because of the beautiful surface patterns the grain creates, the interesting barks and the details and effects that can be created by nature. All this causes each piece of wood to be individual, making each furniture piece I make unique.
