Neil Jackman Bespoke Furniture

Finished a couple of boxes today in time for the Christmas event in a couple of weeks time at the Craft Centre.
One in olive and walnut with a removable tray, the other in padauk with a padauk and macassar ebony diamond inlaid into bird's-eye maple.
Lots more to do in the coming fortnight.

I love the satisfaction of doing a neat job using hand tools. Working on a pair of unique lamps.

A little Sunday morning marquetry. I love the classic Louis cube effect. This is destined to become part of a jewellery box!

A quick mock-up of some calla lilies for an up coming project.
I had a little experiment with fretsaw marquetry for this.

Just completed a pair of bespoke oak knife boxes for a client. The knife sits in the tray with the sheath underneath.

Preparing to add ebonised stringing to the edge of the drawer fronts. The black lines will really help the birds eye maple stand out against the walnut table.
I decided to go 'old school' with this and use my old Record 44 plough plane after scoring the veneer first with a gauge to prevent tear-out.

Finished solid oak pedestal table with an ammonite disc insert supplied by Stone Treasures at the Sherwood Forest Art and Craft Centre. It was a pleasure to make. #sherwoodforestcraftcentre #furniture #bespokefurniture #ammonite #table #handmade #oak
