Kitchenware

Whenever I go to a decent cookshop I am usually impressed by the quality of the knives, saucepans and other metalwork but, sadly, the wooden items are often a trifle basic and frequently the product of a factory where cost-reduction is all they do. Sure, that rolling pin only costs a few pounds, but is it worth buying? Do you really want it in your kitchen? As a service to the discerning cook, I am offering my woodwork skills to those who need them by producing bespoke kitchenware. If you know what you want, and it is made from wood, I can probably make it for you. Need a really big, one-piece breadboard? Or a knife block that is built around your set of knives? Or a pepper mill in a special timber? Or even a butcher's block of a specific size. It can all be done, specially for you.

Prices for one-piece chopping boards are from £18. Salt and pepper mills tend to cost between £25 and £60 depending upon size and cost of timber. Large wooden bowls (30cm diameter) start from £50.
