Hand Tools
Vale Studio’s Woodwork edit is built for making, repair and slow practice: hand tools with ash handles and oiled brass ferrules, kiln-dried boards cut for small projects, flat-pack bench storage, and a finishing shelf of tung oil, beeswax and abrasives. Materials are chosen for grain, balance and repairability, with joinery and hardware specified for daily workshop use.
Use the collection to set up a first bench or refine an existing one. Chisels, saws and marking tools sit alongside project-sized ash and oak, dowel, offcuts and simple wall racks; finishing supplies are stocked in practical quantities for clear, maintainable surfaces. Product pages note timber variation, cut tolerance and care so you can plan around the material rather than against it.
Orders are packed in the workshop and dispatched with tracked international shipping, usually within 2–4 working days; made-to-order and cut-to-size timber may take longer. Unused stock items can be returned within 30 days in original packaging. Custom-cut timber, opened finishes and made-to-order pieces are excluded; shipping and return costs are calculated at enquiry or confirmed by the studio.
