Artisan Revealed Grain Curve Ash Stand with 2 Sycamore Barrel Whisky Tumblers

  • £89.00

This handcrafted ash stand with hazel wood handles has a lovely revealed grain finish and comes complete with 2 Sycamore Barrel Tumblers, hand selected by our Master Craftsman to compliment the stand beautifully.

Our Barrel whisky tumblers are carefully hand crafted using a Swedish carving axe and drawknife to shape the outside of the tumbler. They are then turned on the foot operated pole lathe using various wood turning gouges and chisels to achieve a smooth, natural finish. Using the primitive fire by friction tradition, 2 hooped lines are then burnt onto both the top and bottom of the tumbler using a wooden ash shaving.

Our tumblers offer unique and distinct properties to enhance your drinking pleasure, which cannot be found in glass. Over time, they begin to retain the notes and flavour of whisky, just like the wooden casks that matured these characteristics originally. Due to the natural materials and handcrafted process involved in every individual tumbler we create, you will experience a uniqueness of warmth and tactile qualities which cannot be replicated in any modern day mass production.

Our signature Gedwood and personalised handwritten message examples can be seen in the photos opposite.

Available Options



Please carefully note our following allergy information about products which may not be suitable for someone with a severe nut allergy.

Tumblers: Treated with walnut oil first to bring out the grain and colour of the wood, then sealed with beeswax to waterproof them.

Coasters: Treated with walnut oil which enhances and brings out the grain of the wood beautifully and also helps to stop liquid staining.


Wild Cherry: Wild Cherry (or Gean) features a very attractive two tone mid brown heartwood and pale cream to sapwood, (depending on the ratio of heartwood to sapwood), with a distinct grain pattern. Generally uniform grain in appearance, with subtly defined growth rings.

Ash: Ash is typically a lighter coloured wood of white to light cream with an attractive distinct grain pattern. The sapwood is not distinguishable from heartwood, and occasionally an irregular dark brown heart wood contrasting with the paler sapwood features known as olive ash. Growth rings are very distinct in Ash.

Willow: Features a light brown heartwood to pale cream sapwood sometimes with attractive brown streaks and flecks randomly features in the grain of the wood. Straight grained wood with visible growth rings.

Sycamore: The timber is a lovely creamy colour with a natural lustre. It darkens somewhat on exposure to light, becoming golden in appearance. Sycamore has a subtle figure, with visible growth rings. Occasionally light green flecks can occur in the grain pattern. Rippled sycamore has a beautiful wavy figure, caused by varying grain direction.

Alder: Alder when first cut can be a rather intense shade of orange, but this fades over time until the timber becomes a lovely warm light orange-brown colour. It has a fine texture with subtly defined growth rings. Its most noticeable and attractive feature being the dark streaks (medullary rays) that occur throughout the timber.
