Don’t Let That Tree Go to Waste – Preserve It


If you have a tree in your garden that has already been cut down or is about to be, don’t let that wood end up as firewood or landfill. Trees often hold family and personal memories – they’ve shaded family gatherings, marked milestones, or simply been part of your home for years.

Instead of losing that connection, why not keep a piece of it and turn it into something meaningful? Even a single chunk can become a keepsake that lasts forever.

Here’s how we can work together:

  • Send me photos and details of the tree (type of wood, size, condition).
  • We’ll discuss what’s possible – from small keepsakes to something more substantial.
  • I’ll craft a unique item that preserves the memory of your tree, and keep the remaining wood for future projects.

This way, your tree doesn’t just disappear – it becomes part of your story in a new form.

Giving Wood a New Life


At Briarwood Turnings, I believe every piece of wood has a story worth preserving. My passion is to reuse and repurpose wood, giving it a second life in a way that reflects its history and your connection to it. Whether it’s a tree from your garden or a sentimental wooden item, together we can create something meaningful and lasting.

Preserve the Memory – Transform Special Wood into Keepsakes

Perhaps you have a piece of wood from a family tree, a milestone event, or an old wooden item that’s part of your history. Instead of letting it fade away or end up in the bin, we can transform it into something personal.

It doesn’t need to be a big statement piece – sometimes the most powerful memories come in the smallest forms. From simple keepsakes to functional items, the possibilities are open-ended. We’ll discuss what can be done based on the wood type, size, and condition.

Example ideas (but not limited to):

  • Small decorative items
  • Keyrings or pendants
  • Bowls/vases
  • Centrepieces
  • Display boards
  • Functional pieces for everyday use

Every creation is handcrafted with care, so you can hold onto the memory in a tangible way.
