Tony Farrell
Tony Farrell is a wood-turner and wood-harvester, working in Cork, Ireland. He makes multi-purpose boards, turns bowls, lamps, hollow forms and boxes, buttons, cake stands, bookshelves and other wooden objects all from native Irish woods, which he harvests and seasons himself.
Wood is harvested from either dead or storm-felled trees or recycled from old timbers and off-cuts that might otherwise be burnt or left to rot. Oak, ash, elm, sycamore, beech, apple, cherry, sweet chestnut and yew are all used.
Seasoning the wood takes a minimum of six months and can take up to two years, depending on the type of wood, and the condition of the tree before it is harvested.

Wooden Ash plates made by hand in Ireland. These plates are good in the kitchen, perfect for picnics and brilliant at BBQs. And of course, they don't chip when you drop them in the sink. Each plate is different with some being more grainy than others, they are all, without fail, lovely!
Available in two sizes: small and large.
Size: diameter 21 cm
Notes: wash and dry the plates after use. Do NOT leave to soak. These plates are individually turned by hand. Each one will vary slightly from the next as no two pieces of wood are the same.
