Artist information
The name ‘Bunksy’ came from my eldest grand-daughter who, when aged two, couldn’t say “Grumps” and said “Bunks” instead. The name stuck to my family’s huge amusement, so that’s who I still am now (10 years on!).
I have loved working with wood all my life and since retirement added the pleasure of lathe turning and hand carving. Harry Potter wands are my speciality.
I am based in Bishampton Worcestershire and welcome visits if you call me on 01386 462555 or email me at bunksy@ruskinweb.co.uk
My wands are made from the proper wood (if known or available to me ) and are usually lathe turned and / or hand carved.
I will be adding more wands in the next few weeks, namely the wands of Hermione Grainger, Fleur Delacore, Draco Malfoy and a couple of Harry Potter’s first and second wands and any requested not on show. This will take a few weeks …;-)
