All items by DAdo WoodArt & Crafts

Maker of decorative wooden items and gifts.

Welcome to DAdo Woodart & Crafts.

I have been making wood crafted items for over 7years and am constantly creating new products, styles and using different techniques. Producing a variety of items and designs in subjects that I am interested in and which compliment the natural style and feel of the wood. As an ex-aeronautical engineer, I have so far resisted any aircraft designs, but it is only a matter of time.

So, why the name DAdo Woodart & crafts? Nothing to do with dado rails, but after a while of woodworking I discovered that one of the first joins I used is called a dado (or housing) joint, which is a slot cut into the surface of a piece of wood, and is cut across, perpendicular to, the grain. Coincidentally, two of my Nephews, when they were very young, called me Uncle Dado, instead of Uncle Dave. Now in their mid-late teens I’m still Uncle Dado, so the business name was obvious.

The wood used is from suppliers who source it from managed, sustainable FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®)-Certified forests, and meet the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) chain-of-custody standards that prove the timber was sourced from responsibly managed forests.

I hope you enjoy looking at the products.
