An old friend asked me if I could make her some charred wh***ey cups and this is what came of it.

These two old English walnut cups are what came out the other side. I took some inspiration from wooden Saki cups where the larger surface area let's you inhale the wood scent as you sip. So even though these are shallow they're 280ml, so your drink can invelop the charred notes from burnt walnut.

In Japan they burn wood and the aftermath is waterproof and weather resistant, known as Shao Sugi Ban. These cups have the same characteristics.

The Bread & Butter Board.

I've teamed up with the Janice Heyes from Janice Heyes - Single Fired Ceramics for the latest product.

I originally used some dark walnut with straight lines and sharp edges as a juxtaposition to Janice's handmade butter keeper dome, but it felt too combative.

It all came together when I went with a live edge on a thick piece of English oak that flowed and rolled over the edges. Still keeping the functionality of the original idea, with a deep crumb catcher and a dished butter trough for the warmer days when the butter melts.

I absolutely adore what this has evolved into and knowing it's a 1 of 1, it's going to be a hard one to let go of.

Thank you Janice for waiting on me to get it done.
