Sustainability
Furniture making and woodworking cannot be separated from the health of our woodlands and for us, a commitment to sustainability is a way to protect this relationship.
​
​
Made for life
We do not want to be part of a system where forests are exploited for ephemeral fashions and furniture that's not built to last.
Our furniture is made for life - designed to be sturdy, resillient and age with character.
Reduce Waste
As trees stubbornly refuse to grow in the shapes of furniture, there will always be offcut material. We've designed a number of offcut jigs and templates that we incorporate into larger designs, and smaller offcuts go towards smaller products such as utensils and chopping boards.
What's left is used to heat the workshop.

Vigilant Timber Sourcing
We source all of our timber for our own designs from UK sustainably managed forests.
Whenever we can, we'll suggest the use of locally sourced and sustainably grown timbers for our bespoke projects.
​
Support Local Woodlands
We are lucky enough to have a fantastic sustainably managed woodland right on our doorstep. Devychoys Wood is managed by Working Woodlands Cornwall and is about 2 miles away from our workshop. They are specialists in agroforestry, woodland management and regeneration. We have ongoing projects with WWC and a small range of furniture that comes directly from Devychoys Wood.
10% of all profits from this range go back to Working Woodlands Cornwall.
