Mark is a skilled greenwood worker and a patient, enthusiastic teacher. He introduced a group of 'Junior Rangers' to a range of tools and soon had them safely whittling away. It was great to learn about the properties of the different woods as we chipped away. Thanks Mark.

Mark designed and built our new kitchen, using beautiful Scottish Oak for the counter and birch ply for the cabinets. The finished kitchen looks great, feels robust and sturdy. Mark took great care and attention over every detail and created something that is a joy to use every day.

Mark was incredibly welcoming and explained all tasks thoroughly. I felt my confidence grow as I successfully completed tasks and saw the hut coming together in the final stages.
Mark managed the team and the project incredibly well, ensuring that everybody gained experience no matter what their abilities. Thanks Mark for providing such a valuable and enjoyable experience!

The first thing to note is the excellent quality of his workmanship. We have been impressed by his commitment to
sustainable and natural materials and working methods.
Mark has been closely involved with the design of the two structures. He has taken a lead in coordinating the building projects, and training and managing volunteers and sub-contractors with different skill levels – it has
been a massive help to hand over these responsibilities into his safe hands.
We are more than
happy with the excellent buildings which are attractive, natural and built to last.

I enjoyed having Mark on the team. He was a great help in taking on key aspects of the management of the build, as well as being a committed, proactive site carpenter. This was a pretty intense project right from the start and Mark handled himself well.

I was so impressed with Mark’s work and craftmanship in repairing the roof and structure of a brick built gazebo in my Islington Garden. He remade the roof – in keeping with the original leadwork, and created a charming dome structure with a new window. He is very talented working with wood and I heartily recommend him for any project for his style and flair.
