Hemlington Church Commission

A nice little commission from Reverend Rob of Saint Timothy’s in Hemlington . A font cover, a centre piece for an existing oak trestle table and a reproduction of an existing side table.


Saint Timothy’s is a modern church with a mixture of well-made oak furniture that Rob wanted to add to and compliment. Rob came up with a great design for the table centre piece consisting of mahogany, oak and maple.

The font cover was also Rob’s idea picking up on the detailing of the font itself. The cover has 4 coats of Danish oil to add a little protection to the oak as flowers will be displayed on the font.

I also signed up to Rob’s Christmas fair, my first craft fair! See you at Christmas Rob.
