WellSnazzie Collaborations

I’ve had the very great privilege of working with Harry Wells (Aldwarke) on a number of different collaborative projects which you can see below, most recent first.

Apart from being a masterful woodworker from whom I am constantly learning, but he is also a wonderful poet. You can find examples of his woodwork and literature on his deviantart page here, or you can go and check out his marvellous Aldwarke’s Anthology blog here.
