Doodle & Snooze 2021/22 collection

2021

hello...
This is me and Idgie the
doggo in the Cwtch, a
summer house which I
built in my garden in
Llanbister, Mid Wales.
My making uses
reclaimed wood so
mostly I don't know what
I'm going to make until
the wood tells me.
I'm very definitely a maker not a carpenter so none of my pieces are
entirely straight and might even have the tiniest deviation from
square. Finishes allow the wood and all its history to show through
plus I often use reclaimed metal, screws, and a whole variety of other
bits and bobs from my collection of really important 'stuff' that lives in
my workshop. Hence my pieces have a 'lived in' quirky kind of look.
Doodle and Snooze isn't what I do in my spare time, it comes from
my nick name Dood plus my wife Suze who became Snooze. I hope
you enjoy my work; please get in touch if you're interested in any
pieces.
Doodle and Snooze is me Jude Boutle

bought.
