The Fruitwood Collection
Under Construction
Coming soon is our selection of English fruitwood instruments, which we have made from rescued/sustainable
local timbers, that we have been air seasoning for the last ten year, timbers shown are my own leather
working awls, which I have used from the off cuts of this project and show their unique colours and grain pattern
bottom picture shows five really good timbers for pipes, from left to right are.
Flowering Almond, Hazel, Elder, Laburnum and Pear, all of which give the most wonderful tonal colouring.
Other great timbers are Holly, Victoria Plumb, Damson, Yew and Wild Cherry
