Working with wood, however, is not new to Carl. He achieved a City and Guilds qualification in Carpentry and Joinery in 1994 where is specialised in hand-made furniture. Carl then went on working in furniture manufacture, making chairs and tables wardrobes, doors, beds, and much more. Carl took a break from the industry after receiving a life-changing injury whilst working in the workshop. In short, he had his thumb chopped off due to the failure of machinery. Carl spent years contemplating whether to go back to carpentry or not. It was not his physical ability that was wounded but mostly the confidence in working with machinery and tools. For some time, carpentry remained more like a hobby of the weekends, where Carl spent most of his free time creating custom handmade pieces
for the house. Hence, it’s no surprise that Carl`s golden hands have remained popular within the family. If you need something fixed, Carl will fix it and make it even better or create something completely new. His creative mind and passion for craftmanship along with an expert “supertasker” wife Gerli is what has kept our diary filled with exciting
bespoke projects, including general maintenance work. Check out our social media [insert links/icons) for all the existing carpentry projects to date.
