I’m Charlie and I’m a woodworker and visual artist based in The Calder Valley, West Yorkshire. Living here with my partner, our daughter, 2 dogs and 3 chickens. I work from my own workshop in our garage, at the bottom of the garden.

I trained to be a sculptural artist at Loughborough University and The University of Leeds, which is getting to be quite some time ago now. Since then I’ve been a CAD Designer and at 30 I retrained to be a Furniture Maker.

All of this experience has lead me to making woodwork that sometimes has utility, and sometimes is purely aesthetic, and I love that I can combined the two. Wood is beautiful and should be shown as such!

In 2021 I was a contestant on the first ever series of Britains Best Woodworker (known as Good With Wood in Aus, US and NZ). I got through to the final round and made 6 wonderfully creative and crazy projects, that sparked the start of my own business and portfolio of woodwork. I’ve made all sorts of bespoke projects since then. Clients have asked me to make them (in no particular order) a dolls house, a classic car dashboard, a kitchen island, rocking horses, a kids toy chest and a seating bench, to name a few of my favourite projects.

Right now I’m focusing on my newest collection of artwork, my wallhangings.
