About
At Crazy Hare Design I create quality bespoke furniture from locally sourced Scottish and exotic hardwoods, I also offer gilding and handmade items as part of my repertoire.
My first ideas of making and considering a commercial market for my items came after a stint studying as a gamekeeper where you can see some of the inspiration for my work comes from. After deciding gamekeeping was not for me however I spent a brief stint working for a bar in Edinburgh on George street as a means to an end. I had decided to try my hand at blacksmithing and fell in love with aspect of making items and manipulating the material. The course was short but I knew I wanted to work with my hands and make it my career to make and sell items. I started my career as a carpenter and maker after graduating from the Chippendale International School of Furniture based near Haddington in east Lothian, Scotland. This is where I continue to rent a work space nearby.

Portfolio
Here at Crazy Hare Design I can memorialize hunting trips with gilded trophies in many different types of gold copper or silver. These will leave a lasting memory and make an impression wherever they may be mounted in the home. I can offer these pieces as home decor or for businesses. (if antlers are not provided these products are subject to availability)
