Over the years Tim has built up an invaluable collection of reference books enabling him to compare, reproduce or adapt a huge range of classical designs.

Tim personally selects all trees for his timber, fells them, planks them and years later, when the timber is ready the best pieces are selected to create fine furniture and panelling.

Tim's skills in cabinet making, restoration of interiors and furniture extend to: Mouldings, carvings and turnings, colouring, staining, French, oil and wax polishing, water and oil gilding, gesso work, polychrome painting and specialist finishes such as crackle and scrummable glaze.
