Our Wooden Handle Range
Wooden handles, the ultimate in sustainability
Created by our head furniture maker Luke from offcuts, our meticulously crafted timber handles embody the essence of sustainable design. Each handle is handmade at our workshop in Torquay from small pieces of wood left over from creating our other pieces of timber furniture.
Our range includes half-moon and round handles as well as linear cabinetry handles. Our wide range of timber selections will see a tone and texture that aligns with your aesthetic such as the rich brown of Walnut or feature-filled Messmate.
The timber handles can be ordered with either a screw or blind fixing so it can be attached to both cabinetry and a front door. The finish options are raw, indoor or outdoor. The only timber options that are suitable for an exposed outdoor location are Messmate and Blackbutt.
