Dave Johnson
I have been a professional wood sculptor for many, many years, working on commissions and speculatively. My sculptures vary enormously in style and theme, and the size of work I have undertaken varies from tiny Japanese carvings to large garden sculptures and Public Art measuring several metres! Each piece of work is unique - designed for the customer - and is never repeated.

Joseph Hemmingway
I started my own business in 1968 as a cabinet maker, woodcarver and furniture restorer. In the 80's I started to take specialist orders from "The Director", reproducing Thomas Chippendale's furniture to the highest order. After many years of studying Thomas Chippendale's work there was one particular design that had challenged every master carver, but no-one had ever succeeded in creating this design - not even Thomas Chippendale himself - until now.
