After driving miles through snow storms, into the depths of Northamptonshire seeing the latest work from Peter the woodturner was a warm welcome.
In exchange for a large piece of Welsh Blackthorn from my Dad's farm and some hard currency I was in possession of several sets of our gorgeous new wooden napkin rings.
Peter had invested in a new polishing brush (thingy), but it has given the napkin rings a really smooth tactile surface that contrasts beautifully with the bark and natural wood textures. One set even has a bit of green moss left on them, (treated with spray lacquer so it is perfectly hygienic).
He had also done two sets of 6 - something we have been asked for in the past. Obviously as every set is unique I have found the easiest way to help customers select a set is to send them a picture of every set, and they can choose.
They are really unique gifts - the kind of thing that becomes an heirloom, and are perfect wedding presents. I have attached a few pictures of some of the sets for you to ooh and aahh over!
