Olwen's Family Album

Fred, Clancy and Me

Fred is a practical bloke. He was born in Lancashire, but moved to New Zealand when he was 12. He's a great cook and won't let me near the kitchen, but when he's not there his favourite place is in his workshop in the basement. Here's some of his work. He's also a talented draughstman, and can design anything from a garage to a mansion.

I've wanted a morris chair for years. I suggested to Fred that he make me one, but he didn't know what I meant. When I got an internet connection I found a design on-line. I printed it out, and Fred made me a chair. Then he decided to make a complete lounge suite. These are made in pine. If you're local he could make them for you too.

Another piece of pine furniture. This wine rack holds 48 bottles, but you could have this made whatever size you want.
