About Bodrighy Wood
Our Passion
Our Ethos
We occasionally use other materials such as metals, leather and stone in our pieces and try to use the natural features of materials to create unique pieces including any natural splits etc following the ideals of wabi sabi and the art of kintsugi. Wabi-sabi" refers to a way of living that focuses on celebrating the imperfections of life and peacefully accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay. Wabi-Sabi is everything that today’s sleek, mass-produced, technology-saturated culture isn’t. It celebrates cracks and crevices and rot and all the other marks that time, weather and use leave behind. To discover wabi-sabi is to see the singular beauty in something that may to modern society look decrepit and ugly. Kintsugi is a Japanese art form that basically recycles broken work using precious metals to enhance and highlight the damage.

Other creations
We started our 'Adoption Agency' for the Bods during the pandemic and they have taken off. As well as making a variety of one of a kind little creatures we also do them to commission making them as near as possible for the recipient. This chap for example was created specifically for a builder who loved his prosecco and golf.
