Like his house, his designs in wood follow a common theme - a mixture of sophisticated joinery and simplicity of geometrical lines that pick up the grain or colour of a board, enabling the wood to speak for itself. He particularly enjoys employing the rough (waney) edges of a board to achieve a dramatic sweep or curve, and has been infrequently caught gluing back the bark that has fallen off a board. He refers to this form as "rustic modern".

Although much of his time is devoted to the construction of large items, he still finds time to maintain a small collection for sale in Valley Artisans, ranging from wooden trays to coffee tables, benches and clocks made from native burls.
