Gallery for Decorative Pieces

This gallery shows decorative pieces and items that may be used in other parts of the house. They can be made in a variety of woods depending on what is available. These pieces are sealed and then coated in polyurethane or melamine before being finished with bees wax, unless otherwise specified. It is not possible to exactly reproduce the items shown in the photographs: each piece of wood is different and this influences the final shape. Each piece is unique.

All sizes are approximate.
