How it is made

Considered in every detail

The choices behind the object, from material to the last mile.

01 / Hand-finished

Hand-finished ash handles

Sanded to 320 grit, sealed with plant oil and left open-grained for grip.

02 / Oiled

Oiled brass hardware

Solid brass ferrules, bench dogs and fixings develop a quiet patina with use.

03 / Flat-pack

Flat-pack bench storage

Wall racks and trays ship flat with solid timber joints and simple fixings.

04 / Finishing

Finishing shelf

Tung oil, beeswax and abrasive rolls for clear, maintainable surfaces.

Vale Studio
Our point of view

A quieter workshop system

Vale Studio began with a simple constraint: buy fewer, better woodworking things and learn to keep them. The Woodwork edit favours ash and oak, oiled brass, repairable joinery and finishing supplies that let timber speak clearly. Every collection is built around the bench — what you reach for, what you sharpen, what you store and what you pass on.

Questions

Good to know

How are orders shipped?

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.

What is your returns policy?

Unused stock items can be returned within 30 days in original packaging. Custom-cut timber, opened finishes and made-to-order pieces are excluded; return shipping is paid by the customer unless the item is faulty.

Will my timber match the photographs?

Ash and oak vary in grain and tone. We select for sound structure and photograph representative pieces; cut-to-size boards are matched where possible.

How should I care for oiled timber and tools?

Wipe with a dry cloth, avoid prolonged moisture and re-oil working surfaces when they feel dry. Brass can be left to patina or polished with a soft cloth.

Do you supply project quantities?

Yes. Contact the studio for matched boards, cut-to-size timber, dowel and small-batch tool orders.
