Our Rustic Furniture made from upcycled Hops poles.
The well weathered wood adds something to these pieces that is just not possible with new wood. Apart from the weathering splits and evidence of various fasteners that were used to hold the wires and mesh to support the hops, you can also get a wide variety of colours. From natural wood tones, to greys from the ‘silvered’ weathered wood, to black accents from the reaction of the wood with steel fasteners and even a hint of green may remain from the tanalising used to help protect the wood from rot.
We believe this adds a unique interest to the piece, and we try to include these features and colour variations where possible. In doing so each piece tells its own individual story!
If you just want a bland piece of ‘perfect’ wood furniture then these are not for you.
If on the other hand you want something that tells a story, a talking point even, then these are definitely worth your consideration.
