WORKING WITH WOOD

Wood is sustainable, natural, lightweight and strong. Its versatility makes it perfectly suited to ergonomics and it won’t contribute to our carbon footprint

Wooden Handle Co. offers two different hardwoods to choose from, Walnut and Maple.

Walnut wood is hard, dense and tight-grained. It's prized by woodworkers for its strength and versatility. It polishes to a very smooth finish, and the heartwood is dark chocolate in colour. Walnut has a beautiful grain and over the years, develops a lustrous patina.

Maple Hardwood is cream to pale reddish in colour and renowned for its strength and resistance to shock. The lighter colour offers more variety when choosing stains and greater contrast when engraved. It has a straight grain and a fine texture.

Wood is alive and it breathes which gives it natural grip and a pleasant feel. It won’t become sticky in hot weather and likewise, when the temperature drops, it won’t feel cold, clammy or damp. Treated properly, wood will last a lifetime.

Like fingerprints, the handles will have their own individual grain patterns and over time, scratches and markings will contribute to each handle’s unique story.

Every handle is made in the UK and finished by hand.
