I live and work in a converted barn, 3 miles from the centre of the historic burgh of Linlithgow. I have a particular interest in designing and making fine decorative hardwood boxes and bespoke furniture pieces. I work to very fine tolerances and have a special interest in detailed marquetry inlay work and distinctive hand-rubbed finishes. A visit to my website www.mannerstonboxes.co.uk will provide you with examples of my work. The website contains a Gallery, Library (archive) and there are two shops and details of special projects in which I have been involved.

My aim is to make striking and elegant pieces of woodwork all highly individual pieces
