Join the Briarwood Exchange

At Briarwood Turnings, we believe everyone should have the chance to own something handcrafted and meaningful. If you’ve seen an item in the shop that speaks to you, but you’d prefer an alternative to paying cash, let’s explore a trade.

Whether you have a skill, a resource, or an item of similar value, we can discuss what works for both of us. This isn’t just about transactions – it’s about connection, creativity, and making sure you can be part of the Briarwood Turnings story.

How It Works:

  1. Choose Your Piece

    Find something in the shop that you’d love to own.

Offer a Trade

Share what you can give in return – a skill, resource, or item of similar value.

Examples of items

  • Crafts or Handmade Items – Knitting, sewing, or other creative pieces.
  • Artwork – Paintings, drawings, or personalised designs.
  • Local Produce – Eggs, honey, vegetables, or other homegrown items.
  • Books or Collectibles – Items of similar value you no longer need.
  • Resources – Materials, tools, or supplies I can use in my craft.
  • Items of Value – Something you own that’s worth a similar amount to the piece you’d like.
  1. Discuss & Agree

    We’ll talk it through. Not every trade will be possible, but I’ll always consider your offer.
