A few completed Houses

Here are a few of what I like to call 'Stumpies'. They are a smaller version of my original design.

Each one of these is the culmination of about 7 hours work, if you don't include 'drying' times, of which there are about 8 periods, and each period is about 24 hours depending on the time of year.

I generally like to be working on 2 or more pieces at any one time and I try to keep them at slightly different levels of completion so that during drying times I have still got a viable project to keep working on.

I do get bored easily and I hate it when a process becomes repetitive. There are some times when I just have to put up with this and get on with it.

These were made to order with the customers specifying what colour door they would like.
Each one is uniquely different, which is the beauty with handmade items. The processes that I use are designed to encourage randomness, and although with these three the processes were the same, each is as different as fingerprints.
