Aaaaand we’re back, sort of. After what feels like the longest weekend ever, I’m back in the workshop. Over the course of the lockdown I received lots of enquiries about commissions and the list is sufficiently long enough now that I can justify going back to work. Although what I do hasn’t changed, I’ve had to look at how I deliver the finished pieces. For the time being I’m just working in the workshop and preparing jobs ready for when it is safe and socially acceptable to deliver them.

So, to ease me back in to the world of work, a simple bookcase commission for some friends. They recently became parents and needed somewhere to put all his encyclopaedias and copies of Shakespeare.
