Dibber
Based on a traditional English design this is the ideal tool for sowing seeds, small bulbs or transplanting. Each dibber is marked in 1″ increments to take the guesswork out of planting. No more hunting for a pencil or using a finger! Keep one dibber in the greenhouse and a second in your tool bucket.
Wood species will vary according to what is availability and seasoned. Each dibber measures approx. 6″ long x 1.5″ wide.
Row Marker
Create perfect straight rows, these are ideal for the vegetable garden and raised beds to optimize planting space. You’ll wonder how you ever managed without them! Simply insert one marker into the soil and unwind the string as you place the second marker. Each spool has a carved groove to hold the string in place when stored; just press the string into the groove and gently tug the markers apart to fasten. Wood species will vary according to availability. Each marker measures approx. 7.5″ long x 1.5″ wide and comes with ~12′ of 3 ply natural jute.
Gift Set
This special gift set of the row marker and dibber, in a rustic box, crafted from old pallet wood holds the tools and also contains a full color postcard that tells the story of our tools.
Christmas Ornaments
It has long been a family tradition of ours that on Christmas Eve we exchange special Holiday ornaments, each year seeking out or making something unique. When I began making these collectible hand-turned keepsakes our friends and neighbors asked if I would make more for them!
I am pleased to be able to share our tradition with you. The fascination of working with wood is that the true colors and patterns are not fully revealed until the piece is complete. Each ornament is unique but if you especially want a wood that is lighter/darker or one of the designs featured please email or call me and I will do my best to accommodate you. These photographs serve only to indicate the range of possible finishes and details.
The finished size is approx. 3.5″ tall.

The fascination of working with wood is that the true colors and patterns are not fully revealed until the piece is complete. Each mouse has a unique ‘personality’ with slightly varying position and wood species.
Penguin

Two contrasting wood species have been bonded together then hand-turned on a lathe. The beak is turned separately and applied during assembly.

Bowls
A selection of distinctive and versatile hand-turned bowls, these can be a serving piece you will use every day. The simplicity of the designs allows any intricate, curled, quilted or spalted grain to be showcased while styling works well for both traditional and more contemporary homes. A perfect size for serving fruit or snacks but so beautiful you may want to leave it empty and enjoy them as pieces of art.
This has been finished with a food-safe oil. To clean wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
