After 15 years in submarines as golden ears, already in love with woodworking, I deepen from 2005 my knowledge in the field, by doing different training and internships, in contact with professionals in the sector, preparation of the wood, wooden toys, woodworking machines etc ...
I often take advantage of Laurence's overflowing creativity to combine his designs and models and thus create new objects. I use different types of wood depending on the objects to be made and only untreated wood. In the Hérault I loved chestnut and ash, but also poplar and beech, but today in the Hautes-Alpes, my choice is more towards larch, pine cembros, fir and always beech .
I use raw wood (not planed with bark) and prepare my boards myself for the realization of the objects. Choice of plank, flow, planing, and sanding are important steps in woodworking.
The cutting is then generally done with a scroll saw, allowing precise cuts in thick solid wood.
Routing also allows certain finishes on frames and objects and careful sanding brings a high quality finish before painting or varnishing.
I also have a laser saw which makes it possible to cut certain fine woods but especially to engrave the wood directly for very precise achievements and personalizations.
