David Gunton designed this floor for a circular floor at a new multi award winning house in College Road, Dulwich.
Rob Gunton made it, fitted it, finished it and earned the company yet another award; Winner 2010: The Worshipful Company of Carpenters Special Award in Recognition of Outstanding Craftsmanship at College Road.
It could have been finished with a variety of finishes that would, according to choice and their properties have deepened the colours or softened them.
The apparently random arrangement is not at all random.

David Gunton designed this floor for a music room in a private home in Cheshire.
The room is an extension to the main house.
The idea behind it is that, as a stranger approaches the room through a short corridor, attention is drawn to the huge decorative medallion, distracting attention from the main attraction, a concert hall sized organ!
As you approach the room through the short corridor your attention is drawn to the unusual sight of the huge parquet medallion.
The medallion is 3 metres across.

David Gunton designed this floor and two others for bedrooms in a superior apartment overlooking Regents Park in London.
This is such a beautiful floor.
The photograph does not do it justice.
The real thing glistens, catches the light and reflects it back at you as you move around the room.
This photograph is of a floor after sanding but before application of finish.
This pale appearance can be retained by the application of a water based lacquer with ultra-violet screening and anti-oxidant properties.

David Gunton designed this floor for a quarter round 'turret' styled room which, initially is serving as the childrens toy store, as they grow older, will eventually become a library.
The curved shape of this tiny room and the curved cabinet work demanded that the floor somewhow reflect and complement the room whilst working with the very wide oak boards in the adjoining family room.
This is a detail of the floor.
You cannot see the 'rumpled' surface created by the hand working of the floor, but the surface is slightly uneven, with all the joints having rolled edges gently segueing one piece into the next so that the whole floor has a wonderful texture underfoot of being very smooth but not entirely flat.

This small range of Oak Panelling and cupboard were created from an ancient section of cupboard fitted into the reveal on the right in 15th C stone built house in Derbyshire.
The client required the new oak be blended in colour to match the old.
The old oak cupboard had been dip stripped in caustic soda to remove paint.
The caustic reacted with the oak to produce the grey-brown colour you see.
The old oak was prinicipally quarter sawn.
The new oak was principally flat sawn.
So, it was a little like taking a garment partly made of silk and partly of wool and trying to dye them so that there was no difference in apperance.
