The Log Trug

The Log Trug: Available by commission only
 
Generously proportioned to hold an evening’s firewood for a medium-sized fireplace, stove, or campfire, the Log Trug also works as a vessel for the harvesting of orchard fruits such as apples and pears, or as a centrepiece for garden parties. From a peaceful night at home by the fire, to an outdoor gathering under sunny or starry skies, the Log Trug’s clean lines and refined aesthetic enhance and complete any setting.
 
Handcrafted using traditional steam bending methods inspired by boat building techniques, the trug features an overlapping construction akin to the clinker hulls of Fenland boats. Its strong yet light structure incorporates copper nail and rove fixings as a further nod to boat building traditions, and whether nesting one inside another like matryoshka dolls or displayed as a solitary sculptural piece, the trug will sway and rock, boat-like, as it catches the wind. Fashioned from carefully and sustainably sourced wood and finished in a natural wax oil.
 
Each trug is an expression of flow — steam-bent curves, natural wood, and a rhythm of making that brings energy and honesty into the finished vessel.
