Alan Walker, Alan Walker (Studio Furniture 2018)

Fine woodwork may seem an unusual hobby for a retired civil engineer and socio-economist, but actually it is not. Fine woodwork like my career requires attention to detail and a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom to achieve a desired outcome. As in my career, my woodwork is continually evolving. I still make standard pieces such as boxes but my interest is now more towards one-off small furniture pieces to my own design. Through private commissions my work is included in presentations to Royalty, Presidents and high profile people. I also sell my work through a local gallery. When your career was your passion you need another passion in retirement, fine woodwork is mine.
