Our first ‘international’ sale .. Woburn - Brixham - San Francisco .. 🍏 many thanks to ‘pure wood floors’ 🍂 ..
It’s all about the natural beauty of the wood .. english oak . ash . walnut . elm . sapele . 🌱 sustainably sourced 🍂 finished with a mineral oil and 🐝 wax butter ..
I’ve been using a router for my personalised engraving but am keen to improve with some ‘by hand’ work holding the Japanese faithful 🍃
.. handmade .. unique .. every one a 1 off ..
.. little trophy base made from English Oak and fixed to a silver goblet .. and the winner is 💫
Brixham at night 🎇
.. sometimes things don’t always go to plan .. but as the old saying goes ‘if at first you don’t succeed try, try again!’ 🍂
.. couldn’t let the colour change in this tulipwood go to waste 🍃 page spreaders for all you book lovers ..

Little tool restoration job on this old German screwdriver 🗜️ new inlays cut from a piece of Walnut 🌿 finished with a little liming paste
Mallets coming on .. 🎳 just to finish the design on the handle and turn the bowl down 🌿
Let’s just see how this olive cutting takes to the whiskey bottle treatment 🍃
There are some clever creative people around .. this is an amazing piece of work
As you probably can all remember a lovely couple from Australia are making a train set featuring different parts of the world including Brixham and a mini ‘DillyDally Tearoom’
Well a few weeks ago we had this arrive in the post, our very own model of our Tearoom (Sorry for the delay in posting this, we have been waiting for a display case to put it in so it doesn’t get damaged)
Thank you Patsy, it’s absolutely amazing 😍
This one will be in the shop soon

Lovely little walk around Greenway today..
Love living in Brixham and this is very heart of who we are as a community .. with so much more besides ..
The little stirring sticks (spurtles) are a great little seller for us .. as baby bear once said “this porridge is just right when mixed with a David Perkin Woodcraft spurtle” 😊🥣
Over the last few years I’ve been trying to grow various tree just from cuttings found on walks out 🌿 This Canadian Maple 🍁 has taken very well ..
Outstanding capture Chris Slack Photography ✌🏻
There wasn't much of a sunrise this morning, so here's one from yesterday morning, the sun rising as seen through Brixhams Victoria Breakwater lighthouse. :)
Bespoke chopping board made for a friends friend 🍃 he wanted it long to cut up brisket of beef 🥩 and also some grooves to catch the juices .. I’m salivating at the thought. 🍂 made from sycamore, Sapele and walnut and finished with our very own board butter .. and why not
Beautiful springlike sort of morning today ☀️
