About

Johnny Tapp is a passionate woodworker who creates functional items that are as pleasing to use as they are to look at. He uses a variety of woods and natural materials to create his one-of-a-kind pieces.

Tapp’s love of woodworking began at a young age, when he spent time working with his father, a carpenter and builder. He now uses some of his grandfather’s tools, and enjoys collecting and restoring old tools.

Tapp is self-taught in the art of brush making, and uses a variety of materials for the bristles of his brushes, including coconut husk and horsehair. The handles of his brushes are made from a variety of woods, including oak, pear, and ash.

In 2020, Tapp turned his woodworking hobby into a part-time business. He is based in Bruton, Somerset, and is committed to creating beautiful and functional items that will last a lifetime.
