This oak seat was the winner of a competition to design and make a bench for the Museum of Abernethy's garden area. The same design is also shown in Giant Redwood.

A couple of garden benches made to traditional designs but using naturally durable Scottish Oak rather than exotic hardwoods.

Log Seating

Log seating is a robust and cost-effective solution to the need for seating in playgrounds. They can be arranged for play or more formally as outdoor classrooms for story-telling.

Planters

Shop-made seating either freestanding or built in with planters. Naturally durable Scottish Larch was used throughout.

More Elaborate Designs

The owl was based on the mascot of St Maddoes' primary school

Pole Barn design Office

Scottish Woods is a sawmill in Oakley, Fife and this is their office. It's a Pole Barn design built around Larch posts sunk into the ground with floor joists and roof trusses bolted on. I installed the posts and built the structure around them. Others roofed the building and lined the inside. I clad the outside and built the decking and steps.

Garage

This traditionally constructed building is notable for being made from Spruce trees that grew on site. They were felled and then processed by a mobile "woodmizer" sawmill.

Moongate in Scottish Oak

Circular openings in stone walls are known as moongates. For this commission, a similar effect was achieved in timber using Scottish Oak for its durability.

Spiney Gate

This Spiney Gate is in Larch

Back Door

Back door in reclaimed pitch pine and larch. A copy of the original Victorian door.

Garden Door

This garden door is made from pressure-treated softwood. The boards are cut into tapers giving the door a lighter quality.

Chainsaw Sculptures

Chainsaw sculptures of a frog, ladybird and owl.

On a more edible note, a banana and some mushrooms

Pictish Cross at the Bield at Blackruthven

This was made from three lengths of oak joined with wedged double-tabled tenon scarf joints.
