Jonathon is a self-taught woodworker driven by the beauty of wood and particularly the natural occurring faults within. His work is an ongoing exploration of how to best present the timber, trying to respect its nature whilst creating beautiful functional items. Most of his timber is native to the UK and much of it is bought as single boards from tree surgeons when they fell dead or diseased trees. As he pushes to preserve and utilise more of each board, he has introduced resin casting using different pigments and additives to both stabilise and contrast the timbers.
