Bob Murray - Craftsman in WoodBob has a professional background in Industrial Design and more recently furniture design and construction. |
||
He has an empathy with wood, crafting pieces, whether furniture or bowls which utilise the natural beauty of the species he’s working with. Bob sources his own wood – all Scottish hardwoods. In fact he ‘saves’ the trees, usually felled by storms or as a result of good forest management, and gives them new life in pieces which will last a few more hundred years and give joy in a new way to their owner and friends. Bob ‘planks’ the wood at source transporting back to Crail where he nurtures the wood through a natural air and kiln drying process which takes a number of years until the wood is ‘just right’ to begin his craftsmanship. |
