A Bit About Us

Our Story

Home is where the heart is, and our hearts are in Scotland - where we live, which is lucky. There’s me - Niall (nice to meet you!) - my partner in art, our puss, and our pup. Some of us contribute more than others...

Our small business is named after a cosy wee cottage on the isle of Skye from which we've been inspired by the towering waves whose delicate crests crash endlessly against the starkly beautiful shores of Staffin Bay. Also our work is primarily with wood, and so: Wavecrest Woodcraft.

Our Process

We mostly make multi-layered landscapes inspired by nature. We design in Inkscape and cut out our creations using our cherished Glowforge Pro before applying paint, dye, stain and finish to our products by hand. It takes us ages, but we love every bit of it.

Our Promise

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we make and do as Wavecrest Woodcraft. From the substrates we source to the adhesives we use to assemble our art, we make every effort to ensure our work enriches the wonderful world we live in rather than taking away from it.
