Pitch pine with Laburnum ivy leaf decoration. I bought the pine from a recycled timber yard, and the laburnum from my mother's garden in Buckinghamshire. When laburnum is left on the ground to go rotten, the outside wood rots away, but the core wood turns to a very rich dark brown colour.

Table, box and chair

I made these using the facilities at evening classes. The chair is a copy of some chairs we already had. It is made from cherry wood.
