Three things, made properly
Everything is worked by hand at the mill. There is no factory behind this and no second version of it. What arrives is what you were shown.
A tree that fills over the years
A tree is not finished on the day it arrives. Leaves are added as families are ready, so it grows for as long as people keep coming back to it.
Royal Oak
The largest of the table trees. Full and heavy, for a foyer or an entrance where it is the first thing anybody sees.
Heritage Oak
Wide and open, so there is room for names to be added for years without it ever looking crowded.
Forest Oak
The one most families and most hospices choose. Big enough to matter, small enough to live indoors.
Sapling
Small enough for a shelf at home. Often the first tree a family buys, and it still takes leaves.A name, cut into solid copper
Each leaf carries one name, cut through the copper rather than printed or engraved on top of it. The name is set out to fit the leaf before anything is cut, so it is right the first time.
Leaves are added to an existing tree whenever a family is ready. There is no deadline and no minimum.
If a name will not fit, we say so at the time. Nobody finds out three weeks later.
Order leaves for your tree
Small enough to carry
Copper and pewter acorns, oak leaves and hearts. Cast and finished by hand, boxed, and heavy enough in the hand to feel like the metal it is.
Hospices and charities sell these alongside a tree. They are the pieces that keep a memory in a pocket rather than on a wall.
