Stubborn Carpenter
Nothing wasted. Nothing rushed.
Every piece in Tim's shop starts life as an old pallet that was heading for the skip. Tim takes it apart by hand, picks the best boards and turns them into something worth keeping.
He keeps the character: the saw marks, the knots, the odd old nail hole. Then he planes, sands and finishes the rest until it's smooth to the touch. Most pieces can be wood-burned with a name or a few words of your own.

Made to order
Nothing sits on a shelf waiting. Tim makes your piece after you order, and it's usually posted within 14 days. We'll email you when it's on its way.
Postage
£4.50 per order by Royal Mail Tracked 48, anywhere in the UK. Everything is sized to go in a small parcel, so it arrives safely and the postage stays low.
Every one is different
The pictures show each design. Yours is cut from its own reclaimed boards, so the grain, colour, knots and old nail holes will be its own. Tim only uses heat-treated pallets, never chemically treated ones.
Returns
Changed your mind? Send back a plain (not personalised) piece unused within 14 days of it arriving and we'll refund it. Personalised pieces are made just for you, so they can't be returned unless something's wrong. If anything arrives damaged or faulty, email tim@stubborncarpenter.com with a photo and we'll put it right.
