Beech | Butter Knife

All of the wood Eoghan Leadbetter uses to create his beautiful wood products is sourced locally from wind felled trees or from tree surgeons that have removed dangerous trees due to storm damage.

"I utilize every bit of the tree and nothing goes to waste. Starting with cutting the tree into large slabs of wood to make bowls and using the off cuts to make coffee scoops, salad spoons and butter knives." Eoghan even uses leftover wood shavings get used to make compost for the vegetable garden.

Eoghan grew up in the environment of his family–run Jerpoint Glass Studio, one of Ireland’s iconic designer–makers. So craftsmanship is truly in his blood and woodturning is where he found his passion.

Working from his studio in Stoneyford, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland, he designs and creates a range of handcrafted sustainable wooden products which focus on form, finish and function.
