The Lentini with All the details. Through wedged tenon, Hand whittled spindles, reclaimed laminated seat and through pinned tenons on the legs. Oh and a laminated ash, Victorian floor board back rest. The lentini’s got it all.
The Lentini. A fine-dining chair for the little ones.
This piece is a tribute to the great Fancisco Lentini, born in 1889, with three legs. He became famous and travelled the world showcasing his fantastical anatomy.
Made from laminated reclaimed Victorian floorboards with ash dowels and hand carved spindles – it is sturdy and strong. Three legs maintain a happy equilibrium on uneven terrain as I’m sure Francisco would have said.

Here is a shot of our baked sycamore and Oak from an Avon and Kennet canal lock gate, 18 sided presentation bowl. Specially created for @craftscouncil collect 2018. The sycamores Beautiful caramelised tones occur through a process of ‘baking’ the timber to approx 210c changing the natural cellulose of the timbers and in turn altering the natural creamy white of sycamore. Looks an absolute treat with a little ripple thrown in + it smells delicious when cutting into components.
The reclaimed black oak tainted by way of the ironmongery of the gate reacting with the oaks tannins creating a luscious liquorice blacky blue bleed. .

The Kingston Black. An abstract shot of this particularly tall vessel, made with The rarest of the rare reclaimed timbers It’s a dodecagon meaning it has twelve sides. The black oak is from the Avon and kennet canal and has been cut into sections to accentuate the timbers end grain. However The real star of the show is the reclaimed silky oak from Kingston crown court house (the long pieces) only revealing its true beauty once cleaned up. It has a highly figured and distinctive grain pattern which cell structure shimmers in the light. This is My favourite and needs to be seen up close and personal to fully appreciate the grain. 👌🏾
