A Little bit about WarWood

For those with a curious mind here’s a little bit about who we are.

Richard and I recently took the plunge into retirement, trading in our daily routine for the exciting world of creativity and craftsmanship. We've always had a shared passion for making things, and after many evenings chatting about what we would do we decided on doing what we love. .

Sure, crafting for friends and family (we have 5 children and 9 Grandchildren between us) is lovely and they're always enthusiastically grateful. But the idea of creating for strangers? Well, that's a whole new level of nerve-wracking!

With the unwavering support of our wives (who also happen to be sisters), we took the plunge at the end of 2023 and came up with WarWood Rustic Creations.

                The name is a fusion of our surnames—Warriner and Sherwood. We are neighbours, literally living next door to each other in the Yorkshire town of Tadcaster. Working out of our garages and sheds, makes collaboration a breeze and borrowing tools even easier.

Our retirement objectives are simple: enjoy doing what we love, produce top-class handcrafted “things” for others to enjoy, and maybe make a few pounds along the way. Why, you ask? Well, that's earmarked for a bottle of wine at the end of the week or a spontaneous weekend getaway with our families. If we can achieve that, we'll consider it a job well done.

We launched in September 2024, and you happen to be one of our very first customers, thank you.

Thanks for being a part of our adventure!

Cheers,

John & Richard
