Lympstone Wood Crafts
Rob Longhurst
So this is where I give you a list of prices - or do I?  The problem is that much of my work is bespoke
and done to order so a standard price list is a little difficult.  Also as wood gets wider and thicker the
cost to me goes up disproportionately so there can be a big difference between a 12” x 3” bowl and a 14”
x 4” bowl.  Let me show you some of my work so you can get a flavour.
This is my stall (left) - a large selection of wooden gifts.
To the left is a cheese board with a glass insert.  Limited production as I bring the glass
insert back with me from Portugal.  Above left is ASH and above right is OAK - note the
Solitaire boards -
all sizes all woods
and all colours of
marbles.  Priced
from £15 (12") to
£75 depending on
size, wood and
marbles.  Travelling
boards are just
over 4" and £17.50.
Bowls, this one was about 15”
across and 4” deep made from a
poplar burr.  Oiled and then
waxed it was intended for
fruit, salad or just display.  
Below is a bowl in birch ply -
this gives distinctive rings and
the final top rim can be
finished in a colour or just
natural or even a different
wood.   
either natural edged board (Yew as
shown) or any turned wood (Mahogany is
favourite). The mechanisms are German
and very good quality - but getting very
expensive.
