The Rustic Carpenter

Personalised handmade wooden apple crates and signs - ideal as gifts, hampers, planters...for weddings, parties, home and garden

We are a small family-run business making and selling all our products at our workshop in Surrey. We make a range of vintage-style apple crates in a variety of colours and sizes which can be personalised with a message of your choice and also a range of signs
The apple crates make great, unique gifts and can be used as a gift hamper, planter box, cake displays, table centrepiece or purely for storing odds and ends around the home. We also make hessian-lined crates which are great for storing kindling.
Our range of solid-wood signs can also be personalised and are extremely popular for weddings, house signs, events etc. We use good quality Farrow and Ball paint on our signs, so if you cant find a suitable colour on our standard colour chart you can pick a colour from the whole Farrow and Ball range for a small additional charge. You can also choose the style of hanging - rope, wire, a garden stake, hooks or screws.

Many of our items are aimed at weddings and proving very popular, such as the wedding cards post box, and the apple - crate style cake stand. We have provided signs for wedding fairs and venues, and have a long-standing contract to supply signs as part of a wedding package to a local venue.

We are happy to listen to ideas and are open to commissions and corporate orders as well as individual items.
