Welly Trees
In my travels round the reclamation yards I often found single pieces of beautiful timber, but not in large enough quantity to make a bed or a coffee table. They gave me the idea of making welly trees using the timber and the branches of felled trees. In the spirit of Ethical Beds, each welly tree is unique, distinctive and quirky, with an organic feel to it. Although I have used mahogany and teak, most of the bases are made from a beautiful pitch pine beam I found. It was split along its length around one of the annual growth rings, and was certainly the "pitchiest" pitch pine I have ever seen; the chippings from it made superb firelighters! As can be seen, it has a beautiful vivid grain and its density is especially useful in providing a solid support for the wellies. The bases and branches have been varnished and can be an attractive talking point indoors or left outside so the rain can clean your boots for you.
For a closer look and more information on each tree, please click on the picture.
Should you wish to buy a welly tree, please get in touch via the "contact us" page. Payment is by £20 cheque for the deposit then the remainder in cash on delivery or pick-up.
The welly trees can be picked up from my workshop in Bury or delvered anywhere in the Greater Manchester area for an additional charge of £10.
