The Ark Man - Barry Hooper

The word "Ark" is derived from an ancient word meaning "A Chest or Coffer". This became synonymous with a place or object in which precious items could be kept safe. My life long love of working with wood, particularly carving, and a passion for wildlife and conservation has led to the creation of Noah's Arks. Each Ark is individual and prospective owners are encouraged to add detail to the basic design and choice of animals to reflect what they consider precious. As Arks are places of safety I also make wooden boxes using wood which cries out to be a box lid or a curved handle. Every one is unique and created to hold memories or jewellery or whatever you consider precious.
