Lacewood seam ripper
A handmade single ended Seam ripper made in Lacewood from Powderham Castle, Devon with Gold coloured fittings.
The wood featured in this pen is Lacewood. The wood was grown at Powderham Castle.
Powderham Castle is a Grade one listed, fortified manor house. It lies within the parish and former Manor of Powderham. Situated around six miles from Exeter near the village of Kenton. The Castle is still the home of the Current Earl of Devon.
Shipped in the black recyclable box pictured along with a small certificate giving details of the wood.
The Seam ripper is used to remove unwanted stitches, seams, buttons and much more.
Replacement blades can be found here
All wooden items are handmade by myself in my workshop based in the village of Ermington in the South Hams, Devon. I collect the woods, cut them to size and then normally store them for at least twelve months prior to use. The time is needed to allow the to Season/dry. If the wood is worked while still wet, it can lead to the splitting.
