Howard is a Craftsman, wood turner and up-cycler with an appreciation of beauty, especially wood and it’s natural organic grain patterns and colours.
In his bespoke furniture designs and turning Howard tries to utilise the natural grain characteristics by sympathetically shaping to create simple flowing forms.
Colour forms an integral part of Howard’s work and by burning, applying stains, resins, paints and liming pastes he adds greater contrast, depth and texture to his work by emphasising and highlighting the natural grain patterns, timber defects and colours.
Fitness for purpose, form and function are also important elements of Howard’s work especially when using discarded and redundant items, Howard relishes the challenges presented by working with unwanted materials using them to create new functional pieces with character & charm.
