Little Wooden Buttons, 11.5mm.

Small buttons, made with a lot of care.

Each of these little 11.5mm buttons is individually made by me in my New Forest workshop, using real hardwood chosen for its colour, character and grain.

I love working at this scale. Even on a button this small, the natural patterns in the wood can be extraordinary.

I like to think of my buttons as siblings rather than clones. Each pack is made from the same piece of wood, so the buttons share a grain, a colour and a story. But look closely and you'll find little differences. A darker streak here, a twist in the grain there. They're unmistakably related, but each has its own personality.

That's one of my favourite things about working with wood. Nature doesn't make identical copies, and I wouldn't want it to.

Choose your wood:

Yew – Warm, golden tones with beautiful, subtle grain.

Laburnum – Rich, dark wood with distinctive golden grain.

Olive – Creamy golden wood with wonderfully dramatic, swirling patterns.

Xylia Hexagons – Six-sided buttons with a beautiful reddish-brown colour.

Mixed Hardwoods – Six buttons in six different woods. A little collection of personalities if you can't choose just one.
