Our Story

 

Hi,
I’m Zach, the founder of The Retuned Wood Co. . I design and craft high quality furniture and homeware using reclaimed wood and sustainable materials.

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, even rare or endangered species that were being thrown away simply because they weren't suitable to turn into a guitar. I realised the company I was working for musn’t be the only one discarding so much amazing timber, so I began purchasing scrap wood from local businesses and reimagining it as products for people to enjoy in their home. 

The Retuned Wood Co. now makes furniture, homeware and gifts using 100% sustainable materials such as reclaimed wood sourced from local business waste, recycling centres and demolished buildings. While sustainability is at the heart of each product, the real passion is in creating beautiful designs that are built to last here in Scotland. Once you've found a product you love, your order is shipped in plastic-free, recycled packaging via the UK's lowest carbon delivery provider.


I try my absolute best to make this a sustainable, ethical brand providing beautiful and long lasting products. Every piece has a story to tell and has been reclaimed, built, packaged and delivered by real people. Every order you place makes a difference to those people and the environment we all share.

I hope you find something on this site that brings you joy. You can see the latest designs and updates via Instagram, Facebook and Tik Tok where I would love to hear what you think.
