Hand-carved animal keepsakes, personalized just for you.

Hi, I’m Sam!

I’ve always loved art and recently started carving. In particular I love bringing animals to life in wood. Each piece is inspired by the person its for, whether it's the animal they like most, how I see them, or how they see themselves. I'm really trying to CAPTURE that person's essence.

How it works:

1. Place your order and tell me about the person (or yourself!) whose spirit the animal will capture.

2. I create a sketch that brings that spirit to life, and we tweak it together until it feels right.

3. Once approved, I carve the piece by hand with care and attention to detail.

4. Your personalized wooden animal arrives, carrying a little bit of that spirit straight to your home.

I started this shop with the hopes that I could spread little memories and visions of people all around the UK.

However, when I’m not carving, I’m usually doing something else random - this week it's making bronze bookmarks.
