Twist n Roll Holder - £26.99
A novel take on the humble kitchen roll holder from our Reclaimed Hops Pole collection.
The Twist n Roll Holder features the same chunky rustic aesthetics as the other items in the collection but with an interesting twist.
Inspiration was taken from the tensioning method used on a traditional Bow Saw.
One of the arms is fixed and the other is hinged, the hinged arm is opened and closed by rotating the toggle on the fixed arm, this in turn twists the jute cord between the arms locking and unlocking the hinged arm. See the short demonstration video.
The holder is 30cm long, 14.5cm wide and 10cm deep and can be mounted using the two 5mm countersunk holes with the twist toggle on either the left or right hand side, to a wall, or even to the underside of an overhead cupboard. (Please use a suitable fixing for your application).
The holder is finished with a natural oil to bring out the wood grain and other features unique to the material that it’s made from.
The Twist n Roll Holder is designed to take standard kitchen rolls 21cm to 23cm wide, we can also produce a larger version to take large kitchen rolls from 25cm to 28cm as a special order item. Please contact us for details.
Please note, the photo is of a typical example and will not be identical to the one you receive, as due to the nature of the material used each piece is completely unique.
Important Notes
As the wood we use has been very well weathered (they were stuck in a field at one time after all) you can get a wide variety of colours. From the natural wood tones, to greys from the ‘silvered’ weathered wood, to black 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.
You will also see splits in the wood from weathering, and often evidence of various fasteners that were used to hold the wires and mesh to support the hops.
These all add to the interest of the piece, and we try to include these features and colour variations where possible.
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.
It's worth remembering that wood will continue to move even after its been turned into a piece of furniture. Warm dry rooms may cause the wood to shrink slightly and cause cracks to enlarge or appear. Conversely cold damp environments can cause the wood to swell.
Direct sunlight might also cause the timber to change colour.
