Ive been involved in the creative industries all my life with an interest in both wood and craftmanship. I was driving through the Lake District after the storms a couple of years ago, when so many trees were taken down by the gales, and it set me wondering - what happens to all the trees now. What happens to all that wood.
So the boards I make here on Hand Made By Mike are sourced from the UK and in some way I see it as upcycling from natural resources that would otherwise go to waste or rot and return to nature!
Ive also take some old furniture and upcycled the timber . In my house we use a Lazy Susan and a couple of cutting boards in elm that came from an Ercol table and serving trolley!
I'm constantly looking at the range and the styles so any feedback would be appreciated. Contact me through the contact page form or my mobile.
I could do bespoke commissions if you need something special or specific size - drop me a line and we can chat.
