Timeless Nature: Handcrafted Clocks from Old Logs & Driftwood
Where craftsmanship meets the quiet stories of the forest and sea.
Every clock is shaped by hand from reclaimed logs, weathered driftwood, and the natural textures time leaves behind. No two pieces are ever the same — each one carries its own history, its own character, and its own rhythm.


As a County Durham-based woodworker, I find inspiration in the natural world and the organic beauty of wood. Working primarily with old logs and driftwood, I transform each piece into a unique and functional clock. With my method of hand carving and shaping, I embrace the natural variations in shape, colour, and texture of the wood, allowing these elements to guide my creative process. My clocks not only tell the time, but also tell a story of the natural world's lasting impact. However, the true magic lies in the story behind the wood, each piece with its own unique history, adding depth and meaning to the work and serves as a reminder to slow down and appreciate the simple beauty of nature.
