Handcrafted by a bearded chap in a hat, using a saw, knives, and other human powered tools. These birch hooks (for keys, etc.) are made from young birch which are cut as part of sustainable woodland management and coppicing programmes.

Each hook has been cut to length, and then carefully shaped at the back to enable each one to sit against a flat surface. Some hooks will have required more shaping at the back than others, and each hook has been pre-drilled and given a counter-sink, and are ready to be fitted to a wall, etc. You’ll just need the appropriate wall fixings and screws. Each hook has been finished with a water-based decorator’s varnish, which is hardwearing and water resistant. Please note that only one hook is supplied. The hook supplied will be chosen at random from the selection in the photos.

Please note that I do not use power tools or sanding tools/methods to finish my hand carved products. My process also embraces the natural character and qualities of the material being worked, following the organic and inherent contours of the grain and characteristics of each piece of wood. Therefore, you should expect a form that expresses and embraces the beauty of each individual piece of wood, along with some tool marks which celebrate the authentically hand crafted process of each piece.
