We operate a woodwork shop in Burford, Oxfordshire, called Burford Woodcraft and we sell all manner of British handmade wooden objects from wooden kitchenware, wooden kitchen utensils, wooden furniture, wooden ornaments, wooden toys and wooden games to wooden sculpture, wood carving, wooden boxes and wooden accessories. We specialise in wood alone and have been in business for over 25 years. We pride ourselves on the quality of our local woodworking artists' workmanship and the uniqueness and beauty of the wooden woodcraft products (all handmade in Britain out of wood) that we sell. British handmade wooden woodcraft items make ideal gifts for anyone, even as a little present to yourself. If you can't get to our woodcraft shop in Burford (in the heart of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds) then why not buy our British handmade wooden products online in our online woodcraft shop? We can also offer British handmade woodcraft products designed to your specification as part of our commissions service. Why not commission a piece of British handmade wooden sculpture, a wood craving, a wooden toy, a wooden game or a piece of handmade wooden furniture for yourself or a loved one? By the way, did we mention that we sell British handmade woodcraft products - i.e. things made out of wood in Britain by British woodcraft artists?

Real shop

Visitors to Burford Woodcraft in person can take the opportunity to browse in the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of one of only a handful of galleries specialising in wood.

Housed in a fine old building of Cotswold stone on a high street of listed architecture we have been promoting contemporary British woodwork since 1979. Looking down the hill into the Windrush valley we are surrounded by the same beautiful rolling limestone landscape that saw the growth of this historic town with the wealth of the wool trade and the birth of the Arts and Crafts movement with William Morris.

From small beginnings with just a few makers we now exhibit the work of over eighty, one of whom, Robert Lewin is a partner in BW. He is a furniture designer-maker and like the other craftsmen and women is skilled in using a variety of techniques and finishes to produce high quality pieces illustrating the natural beauty and versatility of the wood, be it a bookmark or a chest of drawers.

We hope that you will enjoy your visit to our website and would like to invite you to visit us personally where you will always be offered a warm welcome and you will see for yourself why it is that so many of our customers return time and again.
