Pieces of bookmatched English ash

Here are some pieces of bookmatched English ash that I am going to use for a bookcase to go in the faithroom at the new South Bristol Community Hospital.
 

These are the finished end boards to the bookcase.

English ash kitchen

I am currently making an English ash kitchen for clients in Bristol and the images show the pull handle detail on the drawers. The four drawers are made from book-matched Olive ash and add great feature to the centre of the base run of unit (double unit, this set of drawers, double unit).
 









These pictures show the English Ash lipping to the Birch plywood carcass that I am making for the whole kitchen. I generally use Birch ply for the carcass as it is a very durable and quality material, accepts a good finish and looks good and light as an interior carcass.

Here we have two pictures of a low coffee table/bench/something. Made from London plane and English yew. I had my eye on the piece of London plane for a while and finally got round to making this just to make something with it. The yew legs are dovetailed into the London plane.
