This chair was produced as part of a project for The National Trust and the BBC, at Avebury Manor in Wiltshire. The aim was to create a room of furniture as it would have been if you had walked into the room in 1540. The design is based on a favorite chair of mine from the period, and intended to be the chair used by the wife of the owner of Avebury Manor at the time, William Dunch. The name caqueteuse translates to gossip's chair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1464552853007-ROD0EY2WYC987EJ7SY8B/835238.jpg Traditional - The Tudor Palour at Avebury Manor, Wiltshire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1464554276857-J24C0TW0VV23F413QIQ5/IMG_2885.jpg Traditional - William Dunch's chair Perhaps a slightly unusual choice of design, but what I would consider an elegant chair of its type from the period. Based heavily on a Welsh chair from the period belonging to a wealthy man with strong links to Elizabeth 1 and the Tudor court - as was William Dunch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1463750085146-1XF7HAV22JXGF1FHBMAB/IMG_2052.jpg Traditional - Four Poster Bed A recreation of a four poster bed in Honduran Mahogany, with a gilded canopy.

The health of the tree was a concern, and as there were no other suitable trees, the choice was made to build it on its own free-standing platform. The platform is constructed from a mix of Douglas Fir and treated soft wood. The house frame is in treated soft wood, insulated throughout and clad both on the inside and out with Western Red Cedar. Western Red Cedar shingles were also used on the roof, the windows double glazed and a basic electrical system installed to power lights and a heater so that the house can be used year-round https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1467406775699-9PLCSI1LU2YUHZJ231HQ/DSC_1156.jpg Treehouses & other stuff https://www.guybutcherfurniture.co.uk/butch-boards daily 0.75 2018-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1525710620797-2LONZJ5OQWJWKVEBUOFA/_20180309_094849.JPG "BUTCH" Boards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1525710620797-2LONZJ5OQWJWKVEBUOFA/_20180309_094849.JPG "BUTCH" Boards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1497908851352-CMBLARJM73BGQR2YGAYI/P6040741.jpg "BUTCH" Boards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1492371284413-Z5MT66F0IXS726AQK8AT/DSC_2784.jpg "BUTCH" Boards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573250f040261d70e7011d29/1525774649271-L4YNJBGCW1K73G09JOT3/Seaweed+Bellyboard.JPG "BUTCH" Boards - Italian Black Poplar Bellyboard Foam cored bellyboard constructed with locally sourced Poplar and decorated with dried pressed seaweed collected in Devon.

Alaias are traditionally solid wood, fin-less surfboards. So the aim is to take the style and performance characteristics of the Alaia, and try to build on that by adding extra buoyancy, and because the board is shaped by vacuum laminating, develop a shape that would be more difficult if shaped from solid, and hopefully improve the performance. The first board has been tested and the results were better than I could have hoped for. A second, and slightly altered board is now under construction. This board is 5ft 8inches long, 18 inches wide and 1.25 inches thick. The outer veneers are American Black Walnut, with a Balsa wood and 1 inch thick foam core. The surface finish is fibreglass with a bio-resin.
