One-off pieces · Not for sale

On Sundays, the offcuts get a second life.

Aperitif boards, chests, a cable reel turned wine table: I make these pieces in my workshop in the Pays de Belvès, from the offcuts of my jobs. They're not for sale, here or anywhere else. I keep them for a small circle, by invitation.

The collection

No shop. By invitation.

A few pieces, each born from a chestnut offcut, a forgotten cable reel or a Sunday whim. They're not for sale, here or anywhere else: I keep them for a small circle of workshop clients and friends of the house.

Common questions

The one-off pieces, people often ask…

Can I buy your one-off pieces?

No. The chests, boards and furniture aren't for sale, on this site or anywhere else: I keep them for workshop clients and friends of the family.

How do I get an invitation?

Drop me a line using the form with "An invitation" already ticked. No promises, but I read every one.

What's a butterfly key?

A small bow-tie-shaped piece of wood set across a crack. It stops the crack opening any further: instead of throwing the board away, you keep it, and the repair becomes the piece's signature.
