We wish you a healthy and successful new year, however you may define “success”.

We have been fortunate so far, grateful that the pandemic has spared us so far but conscious that many have not had such luck.

While we await the distribution of a vaccine, we continue to hunker down in the workshop (imagining and preparing new products) and nursery garden (doing our best to ensure our plants get through this winter.)

Oak for a cheese knife handle...

...turning the wood round...

...checking wood for soundness...

... measuring and marking handle features...

...styling the handle for blade ...

... verifying handle diameter for blade ferule...

... shaping and sizing handle...

... verifying measure for ferule length...

... sanding to ensure comfortable feel in hand...

... applying finish to protect wood for longevity.

We remain open during these particular times and, are healthy and self isolating in our shop and garden in Middletown, NJ, USA.

Our garden products are available for pick up or, within a 5 mile radius, for porch or outside front door delivery, although it may take a wee bit more time to get products to you. Most of our woodworking products are available by mail as usual - some may be available for pick or delivery in the same conditions as for plants. Please contact us if this your preference.

We wish you all a healthy time.

Alec & Judy
