Unique Handcrafted Wooden Tableware, Homeware and Gifts

Hi – I’m Nic, a woodturner, designer and compulsive maker with a small home workshop in Dorset.

I’ve always had a passion for hands on, practical work – a need to make real things that I can be held and used. I began working with wood several years ago, trying different techniques and crafts until settling on turning and carving.

I love the simplicity of the wood and the endless possibilities it offers in the right hands.
I love the way a handmade wooden item has a natural warmth that can immediately reconnect its holder to nature and the world outside.
I love the slow and mindful process of working with wood. Turning a raw lump of timber into a beautiful, tactile and useful finished item.
And I love the way that that finished item, be it a bowl or a spoon or a plate, will settle and change over time and with each use. It will become part of its owner’s life, a treasured item to be cared for and enjoyed.

I don’t expect the world to turn away from mass produced goods. They have their place and always will. But there’s something special about a handmade piece. Something of its maker will always be imprinted within it. It hasn’t popped out of a machine or trundled down a production line. It’s come from a real person’s head, their hands, their workshop. They’ve handled it and finished it and cared for it before handing it over to you to look after. Not to use and dispose of, but to keep and care for and maybe one day hand on.

I still often find it difficult to part with the things I’ve made, each one of them is a little piece of me for the time that i’m working on it. So I hope that if you decide to buy one of my pieces that the love and care and attention that has gone into making it will shine through and bring you a little closer to nature and to our roots, wherever you might be.
