Before graduating in 2000, Simon's design for a wooden turned decorative bowl was selected for inclusion in the onetree project. This project, which toured the UK as an exhibition, stemmed from the use of one single ailing oak tree which was distributed to a range of designers and craftspeople. Every single part of the tree (from the leaves to the roots) were used to create a stirring and diverse display of talent. For the onetree exhibition, Simon created a bowl, entitled 'Wish, Hope, Dream, Everything'. Simon is the author of "Woodburning with Style."
