As well as his sculptural wildlife woodcarvings, Roy specialises in flying bird mobiles, which are finely balanced to produce a wing cadence as close as possible to the bird species. Roy is a member of the British Decoy Wildfowl Carvers Association.

Carvings may have a natural finish, be hand painted or use a wood burning technique called pyrography to bring out the detail.

The woodcarving studio at Steppy Downs not only sells carvings and takes commissions, but also runs woodcarving courses at all levels.  They also have accommodation available. The Studio is situated with extensive views of the Hayle Estuary to the north and St. Michael's Mount and Penzance to the southwest. The village has a Post Office Store, a good local Pub and a fourteenth century Church. There are many lovely country and riverside walks to be enjoyed.
