Peter&Pauls new roost


As well as our new calendar we given Peter&Paul somewhere to roost. The Peter&Paul Perch is made from English Ash and comes with 5 Bird clips
The Perch is a great way to keep important paper work to hand in the office or somewhere to keep precious pictures and family things at home. It measure's 50cm long and comes with either white black or red bird clips and will be available from our site and our retailers very soon.

Our new Calendar


We've been working on a perpetual calendar based on Church Hymn boards. We love the way the numbers are printed on thick card and slide into place. Our calendar is made from a composite material which is a mixture of stone powder and resin used for making surfboards, the cards are hand printed and cut in the workshop in a range of colours. We're launching the calendar this weekend at the Home show at Earls Court on Sunday so this is just a sneeky peek from the photo shoot we did this week.

Patrick Martin Cole




Having looked for a very long time we have finally found a planer/thicknesser for machining timber. It came from a guitar maker called Martin Cole who had the most incredible workshop. The guitar pattern on the bench is the last he plans on making due to years of fine wood dust affecting his health and more importantly his singing voice.
It gone to a good home Martin.
