Ger Buckley<\/h1>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t

So says our Head Cooper, Ger Buckley, a self-confessed tool obsessive, and a man whose knowledge of wood grows far beyond his professional life.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n \n

Ger Buckley, Head Cooper<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\u201cIt may be an inanimate object, yet it has a personality \u2013 you feel a bond with it \u2013 it\u2019s a living, breathing organism.\u201d<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2013 Ger Buckley<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n

A true craftsman in the purest form of the word, Ger is a fifth generation Midleton Cooper who uses the same methods and tools as his grandfather. His passion stems not only from his family\u2019s lineage, but also from his fascination with the varied attributes his preferred source material allows.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \"gerbuckely\n <\/picture>\n

\n

The tools of his trade are an extension of Ger himself; \u201cI collect and interpret tools \u2013 I\u2019m interested in the way someone may use a tool differently to myself\u201d, a fact made evident by one of his most treasured possessions, a 90 year old mallet, with a handle worn thin by generations of family use. It was during his formative years as an apprentice, to his own father, that Ger became acquainted with the ancestry of his role, with the methods of coopering undergoing just the slightest of changes since the Roman Empire.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
