Having had a lifelong interest in wood, his desire to be able to make fine furniture from it was finally realised by spending a year with Jonathan Markovitz at Letcombe Bassett, Oxfordshire. During that intensive period Peter acquired the traditional hand skills of cabinetmaking and honed his ability to use modern machinery and techniques. This combination allows considerable flexibility in designing and making fine furniture that will last. At Letcombe Bassett attention to detail was the watchword and it is central to Peter’s approach to both the design and construction of his furniture. There is no compromise when it comes to quality and only the best will do. After his year at Letcombe Bassett Peter returned to his home in Cookham and set up a small workshop where he continues to work today. about
