​About the woodcrafts.
Nearly all of the wood crafts are made from recycled / reclaimed wood. From either salvage yards or scrap off cuts from manufacturing companies or factories. On the odd occasion Reuben has been known to used wood from tree felling. Trees that needed to be removed from gardens etc.
Reuben looks and keeps an eye open for any chance of some free timber that can be utilised for what ever he has going in his small workshop. Looking for the most interesting grains and colors.
Sometimes Reuben can add to these some inlays and intricate parts like wooden hinges, catches or make a feature from some joints. Then to add further value, all his items are sanded and polished naturally to a high standard. Removing all scratches and marks from the grain, thus helping the grain of the wood stand out to a significant shine, even before any lacquer has touched it. This can be a pain staking process but the end product shows quality.
