Geoff King founder of Woodland Treasures, has been inspired by wood for over 25 years. Planting trees has also been important to him over the years as he is beginning to benefit from the satisfaction of seeing the wood from his garden transform into jewellery in his workshop. His workshop is based in an eco-renovated smallholding, all paper, packaging and boxes are recycled and he has always valued every scrap of wood for its potential, more so than precious metals and jewels. The jewellery is hand carved from small pieces of salvaged, recycled, storm-felled and local British hardwoods - never Tropical timbers. After hand sanding, it is finished with eco friendly Tung nut oil & ecowood oil.You can see Geoff's work in this year's cabinet exhibition!
