Wood Art All my wood art is created from local wood, each unique piece designed by myself (Gill), hand crafted and hand finished (no computer cutting here!). The woods used include oak, red cedar, beech, sycamore, ash, walnut and spruce. Every candlestick is made from reclaimed wood, some collected while walking the dogs, some pinched from the firewood pile and Powys oak. I also create oak platters and salad bowls, fruit bowls, candelabras, dragons, cheese and bread boards and other wood designs.
