Island Twisty Roads and Grain Patterns

Living on Guernsey is an outdoor lifestyle. I am always in the sea surfing, handplaning, swimming or SUP. At other times I am running and cycling around the many interlinked roads and pathways that criss-cross this beautiful island. Every time I am out I find something new that I have not seen before. A new view and glimpse of the sea, a new green lane or ruette tranquille (lane with 15 mph speed limit) or just seeing a wave break in a new location due to the state of the tide. I love discovering new aspects of the island and it is the same as when I am shaping new handplanes and working with wood. Even though I use the same type of wood, Cedar, for the handplanes every piece is different in its grain pattern and aesthetic. It is not until I start working the wood that the real soul and beauty of the wood begins to show itself and makes its Granitesurf Handplane totally unique and a pleasure to own. I am currently shaping a new Hanois (our longest handplane) for a customer and the grain is stunning. If you would like your own unique piece of Guernsey please get in touch ready for the Autumn swells! Mahalo.
