Thanks Petey, and DL.
DL - Stary's main construction is veneered marine ply rather than solid timber. I went down the veneer route after doing a course with Andrew Crawford, a UK box maker. I find the veneered ply gives more opportunities for creativity without worrying about the possible movement of solid timber and then having to incorporate solutions to overcome movement into the design. I was also given a load of veneer...... A lot of my inspiration over the last few years has come from Suda Kenji's work, which you can find on the internet if you search hard or his book - Japanese Fine Woodwork - Pure and Refined Elegance. BUT he invariably uses solid timber..... Which I find amazing.
