Rural Ways Woodcraft is a
woodcraft workshop and retail outlet based at Arreton
Craft Village. With a keen focus on conservation
and habitat management, Rural Ways aim to source
most of their timber on the Isle of Wight from surplus
timber (such as that created by clearance of diseased
trees) and work closely with local tree surgeons
and timber merchants to achieve this aim.
In the workshops, their team create items of beauty
from local timbers that would otherwise have been destroyed.
Each item is a unique, hand crafted creation that has
a high quality finish, whether in wax, oil, or other
preservation method.
Rural Ways make a variety of products all from wood
in a variety of sizes from small items such as key
rings, coasters, candle holders and necklaces, as well
as larger items from dining suites, tables, garden
furniture, bird tables and much more! They are also
able to make many items to order, for example house
signs.
