Here is a sample of my new range of BIO DEGRADABLE presents for the future, from the past.
They are suitable for all your friends, whether they have everything, nothing or are somewhere in between.
There is NO packaging, so here goes:
1) YULE LOGS:originally a large log for the Christmas fire. This is a lovely present idea if you are spending Christmas away from home. You choose the size and species: oak, ash, walnut, cherry, birch, beech. hawthorn. Holly and Ivy both burn well and you can take a 'token' log of a small, handy size if weight is a problem (tiny 2 inch logs available!)£1 each with discounts for quantities.
2) LETTER LOGS: beautiful slices of wood with grooves to file your letters and calling cards and keep your desk tidy.
'Off the shelf' ie those already cut, range through walnut, oak, ash, silver birch, cherry, pine, holly, ivy and hawthorn. These are all £1 if collected
3) Ditto, custom-cut to your requirements:you choose the type of wood and the approximate size. Prices vary depending on rarity of wood. Ancient oak is the most expensive and pine the cheapest but none will be more than £5 if collected.
All logs are from fallen wood, NO LIVING TREE IS CUT DOWN
4) Unfinished Letter logs with part-cut grooves for the recipient to finish:sawing. planing, filing. peeling, polishing etc
[ALL LETTER LOGS CAN BE THROWN ON THE FIRE EVENTUALLY OR LEFT IN THE GARDEN AS WILDLIFE HABITAT AND EVENTUAL COMPOST]
5) WALKING STICK BLANKS: lovely stick shafts for the 'present' recipient to play with and make a truly unique walking stick: £1 each for hazel..slightly more for holly, ivy, hawthorn, cherry etc
6) TEMPORARY BOOKMARKS: pressed leaves to use as book marks (take a leaf out of my book!) 10 pence each
All PRESENTS for the FUTURE from the PAST are also EDUCATIONAL as well as BIODEGRADABLE
Everyone can enjoy learning and and observing the different qualities and properties of various wood species and by buying these cheap gifts you are helping wildlife by encouraging me to resetart the ancient art of coppicing and encourage woodland butterflies, bugs, beetles and birds.
All wood products are too heavy to post and posting would also defeat the object of my NO PACKAGING obsession.
