Branches produce knots which in turn create variations in figure. Pockets of dormant buds create burrs. Fungal growth creates spalting. These characteristics are highly prized at Glowood.

We have a preference for finding wood that's been long forgotten. Be it languishing in a garden shed, part of a piece of unrepairable furniture or foraged from a hedgerow. We’ll take it and breathe new life into it.

We love the natural imperfections of wood. As it dries and responds to its environment the colour changes and the form shifts. This is nature’s response to our work. If it cracks, so be it, it was meant to happen. We embrace it.

Our workshop is next to our house which looks out across the sea. Standing at the door facing North there is no land mass between us and the Arctic Ocean. The ever evolving skies and tonal changes in the sea are a constant source of inspiration.
