Drawing from a lifelong love of all things ancient,
these training tools are inspired by history
and handcrafted as functional art.
Each piece intersects in the study of wood, of leather,
of antiquity, and of martialcraft.
This work represents the fulfillment of my childhood dream;
it nourishes my need to create, my obsession with the past,
and a sense of play I could never shake.
These pieces celebrate the rich tapestry of the many histories and cultures of this world, while also weaving into it one's own unique threads.
From painstakingly recreated historical pieces, honouring centuries of craftsmanship, to enigmatic and original creations which push the boundaries of tradition.
A journey from timber to treasure
Commitment to the craft permeates the process long before the first cut is made.
The story of every piece begins, before it even crosses the workshop doors, with the discerning hand selection of stock at my favourite 170 year old lumber mill.
Within these rough-sawn planks lies the hidden language of grain - density, toughness, stability, and the character of the wood itself - visible beneath their dusty and jagged-edged surfaces to the keen eye.
Always does the journey begin with the discriminating selection of quality raw material, both domestic and from far across this earth.
