'Squiggle'
Back in the workshop, I refined the design and created a new version with an Elm base, Ash stem and Walnut pegs. A hand turned base with a stem which squiggled, following the grain of the wood. Each one having their own uniqueness and different styled turned bases.
I've also made three new 'Squiggles' with a Walnut stem, Sycamore base and cherry pegs.

Affordable functional art.
When I first moved to Edinburgh 6 years ago, I started to develop my small wooden gifts.
Intentionally making and designing products, allowing my work to be accessible to a larger number of people. Popping up in local craft fairs and farmers markets around Edinburgh.
My inspiration for the
'Squiggle' started 13 years ago. Here is a glimpse of my personal sketch books, including photos and initial ideas.
The poster was photographed by Monika Grabowska to depict a hallway. This included the 'Squiggle' coat stand.
A lady came in to the exhibition with her daughter because she had seen the coat stand on the poster and wanted to commission one to be made for her. Two 'Squiggles' were sold on the first day at the exhibition.
To date the 'Squiggle' has become an alnfurniture favourite.
Currently, you'll find a 'Squiggle' coat stand in Logan Malloch shop at 13 Leith Walk, Edinburgh.
