Woodland Treasures
Woodland Treasures is a range of high quality wooden jewellery and combs lovingly hand carved in the Highlands of Scotland by Geoff King.
He has been designing and making hand carved wooden jewellery since November 2003, using mostly salvaged or recycled British hardwoods.
His work continually evolves, so the collection includes over one hundred designs of earrings, brooches, kilt pins, necklaces, combs bangles and pendants. All work is fret sawn to shape and then individually carved by hand using super sharp knives and needle files. Finally, each piece is brought to a fine finish and treated with natural, solvent-free plant oils to protect the surface and enhance the grain and colour.
His inspiration comes mostly from the natural world and its many forms. He finds himself both moved and inspired by his love of nature, trees and wood, the richness of the colours, textures and patterns in the grain. He is also influenced by art nouveau, mythology and Celtic/Pictish designs.
