About
Hi,
I’m Zach, the creator of The Retuned Wood Co. . Everything you see on this website has been made using my own two hands.
I started The Retuned Wood Co. when I noticed how much waste wood was being produced at my old job as a guitar builder. This was all beautiful hardwood, often rare or endangered species that were being thrown away simply because they were too small to make a guitar with. I started taking some scraps home and made a few different items like headphone stands and jewellery boxes that I sold on Etsy. It wasn’t long until I realised I felt a lot more passionate about this sustainable and ethical pursuit than I did about making guitars (and I loved making guitars!). I thought the company I was working for musn’t be the only one missing a waste management system for their wood, and so The Retuned Wood Co. became a full time endeavor.
I now make bespoke items such as furniture, homeware and commercial displays using 100% sustainable materials. I primarily use reclaimed wood that has come from local businesses and demolished buildings the North of England and Scotland. Sustainability is at the heart of everything I make. From using timber that would have otherwise been sent to landfill and utilising natural finishing products, to ensuring all online orders are delivered using carbon neutral couriers and sent in plastic-free packaging.

I try my absolute best to make this a sustainable and ethical company that can provide beautiful, guilt-free products to be enjoyed in your home or business. Every piece has a story to tell and has been built by real, local people.
I hope you find something on this site that brings you joy.
