Wood.

I have a love for anything hand made, I also have a great respect for other crafts, it is because of this that I knew I wanted to do more than just metalwork. Don't get me wrong, smithing is so deep in my heart as to keep it burning forever but other materials work in different ways and have a great joy of their own, because of my work making hand tools I quickly gained a great appreciation for woodwork so I have started making and selling my own, from mallets to cutting boards, rolling pins and mugs everything is made lovingly, with care and more often than not at the lathe.

Chopping boards

It all started with a gift for my wonderful mother, after that I began to understand what makes up a good chopping board. As my kitchen knives improved it was clear they would need something to help them perform their task in the kitchen.

Each design is carefully thought out and tested to make sure the pattern is as sleek and eye catching as can be whilst still maintaining the elegance to match the knife sets.

Purple stripe- Serving board/Small cutting board

£50.00

Each of these boards are hand made from multiple laminated strips of wood to give both a striking pattern and increased strength.

This board contains: Cherry, Wenge, Hard Maple, Purple Heart

Approx size:

As each one is individually made please note every single one is unique based on grain pattern of the wood, the photo is just an example of the laminated pattern.

Mugs and Coasters

A good drinking vessel is worth its weight in the beverage of your choice. 

As with a lot of my stock items this one originally started life as a gift for a dear friend. After some trials and many a beverage drunk we have these styles available to choose from. 

Whilst they all follow a pattern each one is unique and makes a fine addition to any camp or home.

All good vessels need a good place to sit, these coasters are made in the same way as the chopping boards just on the small scale.

Purple stripe - Coaster set

£25.00

These hand made coasters are a perfect addition to any coffee table or around the home. Hand made from ethically sourced exotic hardwoods they catch the eye and will last a lifetime.

This style is made of cherry, hard maple, wenge and a prominent stripe of purple heart running down the centre.

Supplied in a pack of four.

Approx 10cmx10cmx0.5cm

Mallets

Being a craftsperson I find the need for good tools a must, when doing my leather work I always reach for a good sturdy mallet for driving down my punches or when I need to stamp my tooling. 

Whilst many cheap rubber ones exist they don't have the balance for precise work and the tactile nature of wood makes each one of these hand made mallets a joy to use.

Large Mallet

£40.00

These hand turned mallets make any job a joy to do, be it leatherwork, carpentry, upholstery or a whole host of other hard work.

The beech head delivers strong blows and takes a lot of abuse whilst the ash handle is comfortable in the hand and absorbs the shock of each blow.

Handle approx 30cm in length

Head striking surface approx 85mm

Wands

A bit of fun for a themed market has turned into a a nice little weekly ritual of 'Wandsday' where I turn one or a small batch of these wands every Wednesday, every one is unique and made from a British heartwood or a combination of exotics used elsewhere in my work.

Wand - Random

£20.00

All the wands turned in the workshop have a unique feel and energy about them, each one is turned on the lathe and I think of a story to go with them whilst they come to shape.

Ranging from 25-30cm long you will receive a random wand from this weeks 'Wandsday' along with a wee story about it.
