My name is Russell, I make furniture and run my small business in SW France. 

I'm originally from London and moved to this lovely part of the world in 2000, built a new workshop then registered as an artisan and started making pieces for my portfolio.

I enjoy the whole aspect of furniture-making and working with different woods but especially the challenge and to see a piece come together.

Most of my work sells to private individuals here in France but I do occasionally get some commissions for clients in Spain and back home in the UK.

Why do I love my work? Lots of reasons.... But learning new techniques and looking around for ideas is the main one, I just love every second of being my own boss and the environment that surrounds me..

I do have a website but it needs a complete facelift.... If any of you guys can throw me a few ideas or tips.... well, that would make you my new best friend!!

Keep being creative!!

Russs
