Welcome to The Woodsmith’s Store
Green woodworking tools and green woodworking accessories for traditional woodland craft
The Woodsmith’s Store is a north-east England based supplier of hand tools, books, devices and other equipment that will be of interest to people working with green wood. Typically our customers are coppice woodland workers, chair makers, gate makers, timber framers, charcoal burners, pole lathe turners, forestry workers, bush crafters and anyone who enjoys working outdoors, with wood, in a traditional way.
You will receive impartial advice from us about the best green woodworking tools and accessories or books for a particular job. The tools we have sourced so far…and there are many more to come…have to do their job very well, often in professional conditions and be a joy to behold and own. As a general rule if we are not prepared to give a tool space in our own toolbox then we won’t stock it.
Many of our tools are sourced from UK makers who we have personally visited and can vouch for their high standards of workmanship and integrity. They must share our view that well made, good quality tools if properly cared for and maintained should last a very long time, it is sadly all too common that many tools today are made cheaply and not designed to last, this is neither good for the environment or our own attachment to equipment that can become good and trusted friends.
Since we launched this site, this is what our cutomers are saying:-
Just a quick note to say that my parcel arrived today and I am extremely happy. I ordered a draw knife from you earlier in the year and was equally happy with the service then. Wonderful site and wonderful service, thank you.
"Got my order today - quick service - brilliant - thanks a lot - I know someone who's going to be very chuffed on Christmas day!! Cheers! Kath"
"Just to say I received my Swedish Carving Axe and Mora Knife today. Great website, great tool range, great service. Thankyou! Mike"
"Dear all at "The Woodsmith's Store". Just a quick note to say thank you so much for the swift delivery of your top quality items. I believe in this day and age of complaining, a word of thanks seems to go missing. So,THANKS! I will be using you again soon. All the best, Greg"
"I’d just like to thank you for the very efficient service and swift delivery, not to mention the competitive pricing on the goods and the very honest pricing of P&P. In short, it has been a real pleasure to do business with you and I will happily recommend your website to anyone who might need axes and the like." Dugald of Perth
"Hello Maurice, I have recieved my froe and knife. Thank you. The new website is well laid out and easy to use. I look forward to my next purchase. Regards, Steve"
