Thanks for stopping by. My name is Dennis. Have a look around and get to know a little bit more about my wood working projects. I've been making things out of wood since I was a child, and over the years I have been trying lots of different techniques for a variety of projects, from large bunkbeds to bespoke rings.
The name hout-art is a combination of Dutch and English. Hout is the dutch name for wood, and as each piece I make is bespoke, and cool looking it's art! Thus the name Hout-art was born!

Bending wood using a steam box. The initial project is a small cosy space in the garden (a snug) with a wood fire.
Why buy something sub-standard, when you can create something high-class, unique, bespoke and solid?
Some people like carving objects or faces, I love carving geometrical features out of single blocks of wood!
It is an amazing feeling that jewellery can be made from wood. It has a lovely tactile feel to it, depth of colour and warmt. Each item is unique, and bespoke.
