Iroko Pergola and Handrails with Stainless Steel Wires

A Beautiful Accoya door and frame in Gosforth
I took out an old, tired, yellowing uPVC door and frame and fitted this beautiful Accoya door and frame. Much better than horrible plastic. The door is 55mm thick to take 24mm frosted double glazed units.
A bit of sculpture for a Gosforth garden
A customer asked me to make a stand for a specially commissioned sculpture in his garden. He wanted it made from old railway sleepers. All fixed together with massive stainless steel coach bolts. I think you’ll agree, it looks amazing.
