Fingers Furniture

Barry is a very talents carpenter who lives and runs Finger Furniture in Leicester, which so happens to be my family hometown.

We met at the Tweed Run in London this May, when conversation was struck up seeing the matching wooden mud guards and handle bars on his bike. Finger Furniture normally takes on commissional work for domestic kitchens as well as the interiors for camper vans, Barry's past work was on film sets most notably for Wallace & Gromit. This is Barry and his brother at the Tweed Run talking to the penny-farthing cyclist 17_IMG_5624.jpg

Barry very kindly invited me to visit his workshop and showed me how he makes the bike mud guards and handle bars.

different shapes, lengths and thicknesses of the handle bars and guards 

I hope to commission Barry in the coming months for JHBeulah delivery bike and in the far future the interiors of JHBeulah boutiques!
