Handcrafted by a bearded chap in a hat, using a saw, knives, and other human powered tools. These twisted hazel wands are made from materials which are cut as part of sustainable woodland management and coppicing programmes. The twisted, organic forms of these wands are created by honeysuckle which grows naturally in the coupe, and climbs some of the hazel rods, constricting their growth and producing the lumpy, gnarled forms. These rods can be relatively rare to find amongst the coupe, and each one is completely unique.

Each wand has been cut to length, and then carefully shaped on a shavehorse, using a drawknife. Each wand has been finished with a water-based decorator’s varnish, which is hardwearing and water resistant. Please note that only one wand is supplied. The wand 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.
