The Journey So Far

Welcome to Wood From The Moon!  That handsome chap in the photo is me, Ben Moon, the founder and creator of this one-man workshop. Whilst you may see a lot of 'We and Us' being used throughout this website, it is really just me. It felt too weird writing 'I' and 'Me' over and over so I thought I would explain in this little corner away from the hustle and bustle.

I'm genuinely thrilled you found your way to my website and I can't wait to share my love for wood and handcrafted, unique items with you.

​

Based in Heckington, a lovely village in Lincolnshire, my journey working with wood started as just a hobby in 2017.  I found myself working for a pine and oak furniture manufacturer as an assembler with zero experience. The owner took a chance on me and I cant thank them enough for the trajectory it has put me on.

Over time, I found myself taking home offcuts of wood and experimenting with my very limited tool selection, to make things for our home.  The odd shelf here and there, kitchen utensils, chopping boards etc.  Not everything passed the rigorous judgement process, that is my wonderful partner or son, but when something made the cut, I got a huge rush of pride. This naturally made me want to do it more and more.

And that's how it all began, a hobby snowballed into an obsession, and with the support of the wonderful people around me, it has become quite an eventful journey!

​

I believe that every piece of wood has its own story to tell, and I strive to bring out the natural beauty in each and every product I create.  I take great care in sourcing the best quality materials, and pay the utmost attention to every detail to ensure that each product is of the highest standard.

​

I would love to have you join us on this journey, so please feel free to follow me on Facebook and Instagram to stay up-to-date with my latest projects and creations.  And if you ever have any questions or want to discuss a bespoke order, don't hesitate to reach out!

Thanks for visiting Wood From The Moon, I look forward to creating something special for you!
