Who we are

At Putman Wood and Design Co., we believe in breathing new life into forgotten materials. Founded during the challenging times of the Covid pandemic, our journey began with a personal need to furnish a new home using salvaged wood. What started as a creative necessity has blossomed into a passion for transforming what others might overlook into beautifully crafted and functional pieces.

We specialize in creating unique furniture, characterful chopping boards, and stylish coasters, all with a strong emphasis on sustainability. We are deeply committed to sourcing materials locally whenever possible and prioritize the use of salvaged wood, giving each creation a story and a distinctive charm you won't find elsewhere.

Our core values of sustainability, meticulous attention to detail, and a dedication to our local suppliers underpin everything we do. We take pride in the individual character of the wood we work with, celebrating its history and inherent beauty in every design.

At Putman Wood and Design Company, we don't just make wooden items; we craft pieces with a past and a future, turning the unloved into the truly beautiful. We're thrilled to share our passion for sustainable craftsmanship with you.

In 2024 I was commissioned to make a desk for a colleague at work and this reignited my passion for woodworking.
