imitate.





And so it begins.... 

There are some timber cheeseboards floating around in the universe that are imitations of my work. Whilst the majority of people receive a pay packet each week,I do not. I've chosen the path of the unknown,of the consistently inconsistent because I love what I do and am fortunate enough that there are people out there who love my creations enough to pay me their hard earned money for something that is made with heart and soul. My work is a culmination of my life.my travels.my experiences.my adventures.the blood that pulses through my veins.the culture that I have been born from.the life that only I have lived,that's what inspires & keeps the fire burning. 

I spend hours slogging away.late nights.lack of sleep.blistered hands.sweat.sacrifices & tears to produce everything you see on my page,but I get so much satisfaction and pride to be able to share my work with everybody.But to have it corrupted by somebody who has taken a shortcut and claims it as their original work is not only highly frustrating,but very disappointing and makes me 
question sometimes if its even worthwhile sharing.


P.S The boards pictured are mine.
