Damaged or Faulty Items

Please Check the Dimensions
It is often not easy to discern the size of a particular item by looking solely at the images as no reference of scale is provided. So, please check the dimensions provided carefully to make sure you have a good understanding of the size of each piece.
Hand made from Natural Materials
*Please note - The items I make and sell are all handmade from natural materials. There can be numerous bark inclusions, voids, cracks and surface textures which are all part of the look of the finished piece.
If you would like additional images of a piece to ensure you will be happy with the work that you’re interested in purchasing: please just ask.
