Builder, teacher, timber person.

I'm Jakub, and The TimberVerse is my workshop on Mynydd Nefyn, on the Llŷn Peninsula. I build rustic timber structures and furniture, and I teach people to build things themselves.

The builds range from my own Hobbit sauna to glamping pods, shepherd huts and a timber-frame garden house with Puki Pods, plus shepherd huts for the Hafan Gelli glamping site, and a commercial sauna and yoga studio.

Where I can, I start with local timber: logs from nearby, milled into beams and boards. You can see the grain, the knots and the waney edges in the finished work.

Teaching runs alongside the building. I've delivered woodworking sessions for Grŵp Llandrillo Menai's Multiply numeracy programme and now run woodworking for wellbeing with Coleg Menai's Potensial community learning.
