A Chip Off The Old Block

Apparently the C-word is acceptable in September now… 🎄😳

Someone mentioned Christmas at our last market and, just like that, the festive planning has begun 😂

We’ve got lots of new designs in the works for this year — all made from solid wood in our little Warwickshire workshop. 🤎

So… are you ready for Christmas products yet, or is it still FAR too early? 👀

🎄 Ready
🙈 Ask me again in November

Some gifts are bought. Others are made just for them. 🤎

This custom heart-shaped trinket box was created to be completely one of a kind — from the name and floral engraving on the lid to the personal poem engraved inside.

Whether it’s your own words or something you’d like a little help putting together, we can turn them into a keepsake designed to be treasured for years to come.

New chopping boards have landed! 🪵✨

We’ve been playing with different combinations of beautiful solid hardwoods, and these two might be some of our favourites yet.

Each board is individually made, bringing together contrasting timbers to create a completely unique pattern — then finished with a routed juice groove and softened edges ready for everyday use.

Because we work with real wood, no two will ever be exactly the same. The grain, colour and character of every piece makes each board truly one of a kind. 🤎

Beautiful enough to leave on display. Made to actually be used.

Which would you choose — classic square or the statement geometric shape? 👇

🌳 Solid hardwood
👐 Handmade in Warwickshire
✨ One-of-a-kind grain & pattern
