Fire or Rescue? — Workshop Challenge No.1

Every now and then, a piece of timber lands in the workshop that's too interesting to ignore — but not quite right for anything we already make. Too small for a board, too unusual for a shelf, too good for the fire.

So we put it in your hands.


The Oak Candle Holder or Not?

The oak piece - Workshop Challenge No.1

This odd, characterful lump of solid oak was looking for an idea. It was roughly the right size for a candle holder — but we were open to being surprised.

The Winner: Steve Peto

Steve had a better idea than a candle holder. He designed a banana hanger — making clever use of the oak's shape and character. We loved it immediately.

We filmed the whole making process — watch it here:

“Morning Hal, it arrived yesterday, very happy :) Thanks again!
