The most amazing sculptural contemporary basket work from Joe Hogan. Like some giant beautiful horse chestnut made from Irish Willow. Joe has been a basket maker for 30 years, but for the past 10 has been increasingly interested in making non-functional baskets, such as this one, which incorporates a found piece of wood. Stunning!

Solid Oak Door Stop by Panga Design
This substantial doorstop in solid oak will hold any door. It measures approximately 13cm x 13cm x 14cm and weighs about 3 kg. Fitted with a galvanised steel marine eye plate and ring for ease of lifting. If you’re in the market for an unusual but useful gift for the person who has everything, you can do no better than this timeless beauty. The Doorstops are made of ‘green oak’, the same grade that is used to build timber framed buildings. Green oak is not completely seasoned, and therefore some splits will occur over time, which adds to the character of the piece. This is similar to that of the ageing process of oak beams and is part of the woods natural beauty. It should not affect the function of the products, and the handles will stay secure. Finished in a dark wax enhancing the beautiful grain and protection from knocks and bumps.
