Turned wooden baubles - Selwyn House

£12.00

Simple, natural and unique Christmas decorations that can be treasured and brought out year after year. The duo at Selwyn House turn each bauble individually, often from offcuts of wood which would otherwise be wasted - pieces from other projects in the workshop or the first slice from the sawmill. We finish each one in our wood balm and add a dark grey faux suede cord.

Selwyn House was formed by Sean Best and Ellie Smalls, who met studying Fine Art at Leeds Arts University.

Always drawn to making things, Sean bought a second-hand lathe and began teaching himself woodturning. An all-consuming obsession for understanding and working with wood followed, and after making the move back to Ellie’s home county of Derbyshire in 2017, they formed Selwyn House, combining their creative talents to create small-batch handmade serveware & homeware from the best British-grown timbers they could get their hands on.

All the wood used for Selwyn House pieces is exclusively from trees which have grown in Britain. Most wood is bought from small independent sawmills, who either manage woodland around them or buy directly from local tree surgeons. The wood is milled and air-dried at these sawmills for a minimum of 18 months before it even comes to the workshop. Working in small batches means they are able to source more unusual and characterful pieces of timber to work with and adapt designs to make the most of the wood.

For many of the turned bowls, the tree itself has been taken down by Sean and slowly air-dried in the workshop. By working from tree to finished piece the wood is carefully used to it’s maximum advantage and any wastage is kept to an absolute minimum.
