I spend much of my time carving and shaping wood by hand — making spoons, bowls, chairs, and other everyday objects that invite touch and use. There’s a deep joy in working with sharp tools, in the quiet rhythm of the craft, and in creating pieces that fit perfectly into the human hand. Every item I make begins with a tree — often one I’ve known personally — and my work is a way of honouring its life and continuing its story.

Alongside small-scale craft, I also build homes using natural materials. Whether it’s a handmade spoon or a whole building, my aim is always the same: to create a sense of calm, connection, and belonging. I want my work to remind people of the forest — its textures, its warmth, and its grounding presence.

At the heart of Jeffrey of the Woods is a belief that craft can reconnect us to the natural world. By working slowly, using our hands, and respecting the materials we use, we rediscover something ancient — a quieter, more sustainable way of being.
