Woodwork Ebéniste
I have worked with wood just about all my life. My first contraptions
appeared when I was eight or so. I had a year's formal tuition in joinery at
the agricultural college and experience with overseeing labour house
maintenance while on the plantations in West Africa. Apart from that I
am completely self-taught.
When building my roundsided Swampscott dory for example, I thought, dreamed, talked and read only about wooden boat
building. The project won first prize in the NZ amateur wooden boat
building competition. Someone saw pictures of it, which gave me the
opportunity to be involved with a refit of the magnificent three mast
schooner Shenandoah.
I
like to work with good quality solid timber and if it is required in the
construction will use only top grade ply. Demolition timber can also be used to
good advantage.
There
are a few suppliers in the district where I can obtain oak, beech, chestnut, ash
as well as several types of pine and spruce. Anything out of the ordinary has
to be ordered in.
It’s
not like when I used to live in Auckland, a million plus city with a thriving
yacht building industry, where you could lay your hands on practically any timber,
ply or veneer you fancied. C’est la vie,
but with a bit of perseverance I still manage to get what I need for the job.
Finishing
is done with either polyurethane, Danish oil, shellac, paint or left bare,
whichever is appropriate for the job or requested by the client.
Wineracks and bottle storage is something
I have done a lot of. On my Portfolio
you can see a range of custom
made furniture, marine fittings, boat building- and repairs, restorations etc.etc.
I
used to live and work in Waimauku, north of Auckland, New Zealand. Now I'm
living in Cambieure, Aude department, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, which is in
the midst of the wineries of the Razes near Limoux.
