Jack is skilled craftsman who is equally adept at marquetry, carving and pyrography. He frequently employs a mixture of these techniques in a single item, with remarkable effect.

The Severn - Coalbrookdale A simple but effective marquetry panel carefully set into a recess carved into a solid piece of timber. The lettering is carved in reverse relief, making a really attractive picture. |

The Coalport China Works An excellent example of Jack's mixed media work - marquetry for the picture, carved lettering and pyrography for the bridge-work. Again the base is a solid piece of timber. |
|
The Fifer This one has the works! Marquetry, pyrography and hand colouring for the picture, with a carved and coloured surrounding border. |

|
Mare and Foal A more traditional carving, but Jack's special touch is not far away - the trees have been carefully let in using inlay technique. |
|
Durer A detailed pyrography picture with a dramatic border inlaid into the solid background. |
