About How It All Began

My wife Julie and I started our craft career making About 40+ years ago. we crafted meditation toys from wire and gemstones. Then one day, when left alone with a chainsaw and some wood my artistic talents came to life. Before long I had carved a wooden mushroom and was amazed by the outcome. 

I took it home to my wife. ”They are amazing’s” she cried, “I need two more – if you make me another three I could have a fairy garden”.

This was a good start!

There was no stopping me and by the end of the week we had wooden mushroom tables and seats. The garden was transformed, so that was the start of a beautiful future. – handmade4u has just started!

How we protect our Ornaments and Signs

To protect the wood, we coat each item in resin and then finish it with a spray coat of lacquer. This gives the wood a hard coating what process protects the wood from any erosion from the uk weather. this is also how we giving it a shiny finish, ensuring that it will withstand the brutal UK weather and last many years in your home or garden.

  How are we Sustainable

We have worked with wood for over 36 years and I am proud to say that all my materials are sourced from sustainable or recycled facilities.

We only use sustainable or recycled woodcuts so the type of wood will vary – some therefore are more scented than others, adding another sensory experience to the already tactile nature of the sculpture. Many find it quite pleasing to touch or stroke a wooden ornament, so it’s a feast for all the senses!
